Proton-GE doesn't specify dependencies

[zyrain]

Just got Proton GE working, but I had to manually add python3 and wineWowPackages to my system packages manually to get it to work. I believe the right thing to do is add them to the build inputs in the derivation, e.g.

buildInputs = [
python3
wineWowPackages.stable
];

Neither of those packages are listed as dependencies by proton-ge, and nor do I have them (at least python) in my system packages.

I don't think this is a necessary change, but I'll go ahead and test it soon:tm:

P.S.
we actually don't "build" anything, so having those packages in buildInputs doesn't look like they'll change anything.

Ah, yes, it would be runtime inputs.

Proton is supposed to be used by Steam. Running it outside of Steam isn't supported. That's why Proton-GE isn't being built (it's already built for the Steam runtime) and doesn't require any dependencies (they are provided by the Steam runtime)

I guess this is solved. Closing.
