Nixpkgs: Playonlinux complains about OpenGL and jq

[mtrsk]

Issue description

I've tried running playonlinux recently and got the following messages:

Playonlinux is unable to find 32 bits OpenGL libraries

You might encounter problems with your games

Playonlinux is unable to find 64 bits OpenGL libraries

You might encounter problems with your games

Playonlinux cannot find jq (from jq)

You should install it to use Playonlinux

POL couldn't download wine versions nor create the virtual drivers.

Steps to reproduce

I've just added playonlinux to configuration.nix.

Technical details

The last issue seemed easy enough to solve, I've added jq to the playonlinux derivation, now it's able to fetch wine versions e create the drives (the last annoying message does not show up anymore), however, some errors occur while installing applications.

@mtrsk have you tried activating OpenGL on the system?

hardware.opengl.enable = true;
hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit = true;

Might be similar to Steam: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Steam

Hello @davidak, I already had driSupport32Bit enabled for steam, after enabling opengl I got the following boot warnings on stage-2:

Which may be related to this. Is playonlinux working fine for you? Are you on stable, perhaps?

@mtrsk These warnings are not caused by enabling opengl and are quite harmless anyway. I'd look for a cause elsewhere.

Getting the same warning for 32 and 64 bits.
