NixOS Package

[dragonlord]

That's really not nice. It's a security feature to avoid file corruption and tampering. But you could disable the checks in if nothing helps:
- https://github.com/LordOfDragons/dragen ... e.cpp#L548
- https://github.com/LordOfDragons/dragen ... n.cpp#L390
You would need to disable the entire if-blocks there to avoid the file based exception.

Is there a way I could generate the manifest files separate from the main build step after the modules have been patched?

[dragonlord]

The manifest files are XML files. You can use an XML library to load, edit and save them. Most probably simpler would be using an XSLT processor to alter a specific tag content. "xsltproc" is the usual command line tool to do this.

[dragonlord]

So is it now all working as expected? Anything I should upstream or not?

[gale_username]

I ended up not using dragengine, but got a fair amount working. Will post what I had below for others to reference:

I ended up not using dragengine, but got a fair amount working...

Can you quickly explain the reasons for not using it so I can improve in the future?

[gale_username]

I wasn't planning on using it much, so the extra effort to get it working wasn't worth it.

[dragonlord]

I see. I guess NixOS is quite special in the way packaging works to cause that many troubles.
