Subject: General Question: Execution of binaries not built for GuixSD
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 01:21:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-580e3ce2-7852-4cdd-89f4-89a895356f40-1466551285945@3capp-gmx-bs45> (raw)
Hello
I have a fresh installation of GuixSD and I'm keen of learning more. I struggle with a concept and don't know how to circumvent best:
Binaries built for ordinary Linux's (as, in my case, Firefox Developer Edition) expect libraries on certain standard pathes which doesn't exist on GuixSD. I found three possibilities that might work:
* use fakechroot to make my user profile a pseudo root (disadvantage: I have no experience, it seams there is no package for that)
* create symbolic links (disadvantage: new builts get a new path with a hash value and must be re-linked properly)
* install a minimal Linux and use Guix instead of GuixSD (disadvantage: this would the point where I had capitulated)
My question: is there an already elabored way, documentation and so on, for this specific problem?
so long
cvog (Christoph Vogelsberg)
