First thing I'd try is to use a "period-correct" nixpkgs commit for the libraries. It might even have the package already.
Hmmm I'm a bit hesitant about nixpkgs, since when I last tried using it (outside of nixos), many (modern) GUI apps were broken, at least on my distro, But I'll give this a try if u/observanTrapezium's suggestion doesn't work. Thanks!
If the app uses OpenGL in any way, you need to use nixGL: https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL
I want to search about it, but searching that didn't help.
Yeah I just checked, seems like neither of the packages the OP talks about were ever packaged in nixpkgs.
