It's in the Quick Start section of the Nixpkgs manual: Adobe Reader: pkgs/applications/misc/adobe-reader/default.nix. Shows how binary-only packages can be supported. In particular the builder uses patchelf to set the RUNPATH and ELF interpreter of the executables so that the right libraries are found at runtime. http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/tarball/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual#chap-quick-start -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
