Hi. As mentioned, I did a Nix install to a regular user account, to see if it could be done (I intend to use Nix on some work computers, which I do not have root access on). I installed my first package yesterday (bsd-games, thanks for the help).
I was wondering, in building the software, how does Nix handle the location of /var? I know that software built with autotools usually allows one to change the location of the local state directory. Does Nix change this to some new location? I am wondering about this because some of the bsd-games are expecting to have access to directory /var/games, which does not exist on my system. I imagine that path is hard coded into the old bsd-games code, but I thought I should learn more about the issue anyway before installing more packages. -- frigidcode.com
