Make Nix/NixOS friendly #291
Conversation
Some system don't have /bin/bash
The binary in the repo depends on /lib64 which does not exist everywhere
It declares the dependencies for Nix users

Hello. Great :). Feel free to close my PR. |
|
Working flawless on NixOS 21.03. |

|
Of...? |
|
any progress on this? development seems to have stopped, can we make a fork or have it inside nixpkgs in some way? |
|
I don't think this project is active anymore. If you want to package it, feel free to just use my fork instead. I won't be developing anything new in it either though (except for Nix stuff perhaps). You'd probably better off just using https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM. I haven't played with macOS in a while but it was much easier to set up and generally worked better IIRC. We could also just make our own custom Nix module based on either of these projects that generates libvirt XMLs and integrates into NixOS but that's a topic for a different repo ;) |

thanks! that looks like a good alternative |
The project does not work on NixOS OOTB because of FHS assumptions. Nix dependencies also aren't mentioned in the README.
This PR removes the dependency on /bin/bash and /lib64/ and provides dependencies for Nix users (semi-)automatically.
Supersedes #223.
