Subject: How to: How to wrap executablea?
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 18:24:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9D8BC476-2680-474E-A5C0-1708487C905E@disroot.org> (raw)

Good evening,

I'm trying to execute a pre compiled program (on a Guix System) that I think is trying to call /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 by its absolute path. Since Guix System does use the store and usually makes use of variables like "SHELL", "LIBRARY_PATH", etc. How do I wrap executables that technically are gnu-linux cross platform but use absolute paths that depend on distribution?

I've read the entire Guix Ref. Manual but I'm too scared to do anything and don't know exactly what to do.

Should I use "guix shell --container -S" and create a symbolic link in the virtual shell?

Or should I make a package definition?

I know this is not really a guix problem... More like the people that programmed the executable hardcoded everything to their distribution (I think they used Ubuntu)...


I would like to know how to deal with this kind of problem, because the majority of code is hardcoded like this (for example hardcoded call to /usr/bin/bash).


Thank you.

Best regards,
Marius.
