I haven't tried with MacOS yet but a few ideas:
- Try using the QEMU image available (or create your own VirtualBox
image - I've tried this and it worked OK).
- If running a full graphical env is too clunky for you could experiment with multipass. I
haven't tried this yet on multipass but I've had some success running
Guix inside WSL2 (very similar to multipass) on Windows using busybox
and these instructions:
https://github.com/giuliano108/guix-packages/blob/master/notes/Guix-on-WSL2.md
It's a bit 'beta', but I use this when I want fast local access to a Guix
environment from a Windows desktop without having
yet-another-foreign-distro (eg Ubuntu-on-WSL) in-between.
- I'm not expert on this but I suspect you could produce a slimmed down
version of Guix more akin to the WSL experience using the 'guix system
vm-image' command. Check-out the manual.
Having something that worked with multipass and WSL2 directly on the Guix
website would be extremely useful in drawing a crowd from non-Linux
users! So this would be a noble endeavour IMHO. If you get anything
working I'd be very interested.
Of course this isn't substitute for running on Darwin as a foreign
distro, but I'm unaware of any current project to do that. I suspect
it would be challenging to get package definitions working for substantially
different compiler flags etc, it would almost become a separate project.
It has been discussed tho - follow the links in this post to see discussions on guix-devel too:
