Hello! A common problem for people trying to use Nix/Nixpkgs/Guix on non-NixOS distros, especially Debian derivatives, is that their /bin/sh is not Bash. On Debian and derivatives, it’s a symlink to /bin/dash.
When building without a chroot, things eventually fail because stdenv, and sometimes build systems, assume that /bin/sh is Bash. When enabling ‘build-use-chroot’, things fail because the symlink’s target is not included in the chroot. For things to work, people have to set ‘build-use-chroot = false’ and make /bin/sh a symlink to /bin/bash. Enabling ‘build-use-chroot’ won’t work unless /bin/sh is not a symlink *and* is statically-linked. Is there a better way to approach that problem? Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
