Re: [Nix-dev] Generating nixos-compatible binaries? And bootstrapped packages.

Hi, something related that we experienced: allowing users to compile/link against the system environment causes later mayhem: linkers will typically resolve any symlinks and then have shared libraries looked up by their store path. If that goes away later (as the manually compiled binary is not

Re: [Nix-dev] Generating nixos-compatible binaries? And bootstrapped packages.

Personaly, I was a little tired with repatching 3rd party binaries and I linked ld-linux-x86-64.so to /lib and /usr/lib (where most apps looks for this). One time I even linked /usr/lib and /lib directly to /run/current-profile/sw/lib and even have got working some non static binaries :-) (but tha

[Nix-dev] Generating nixos-compatible binaries? And bootstrapped packages.

Normally, it tends to work out fine on Linux to build an executable binary (linked with gcc), and then run the binary on other distros with an equal-or-newer glibc. I realize these binaries won't work out-of-the-box on nixos (something about the non-typical directory structure), and the standa
