Re: How to: How to wrap executablea?

[Marius via <help-guix@gnu.org>]

Thank you all,


I've recently found this possible solution that it's native to Guix: <https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-filesystem-hierarchy-standard-comes-to-guix-containers/>. So there we have the technical words we were looking for, since Guix System does not conform with FHS the binary did not work. But if I execute it in a shell container with a FHS emulated file system then it would probably work (I've to try it yet)!


Best regards,
Marius.

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?
