Haiku uses XDG env vars, so it should never happen
<extrowerk>
Ah, yet something: please consider to not use dotfolders and dotfiles in the $HOME. Thats unacceptable on Haiku, even for ported programs. It is just bad practice.
<extrowerk>
ok, i achaived what i wanted, built nix on Haiku, it seems to doing things, i is enough for me, i can't debug something i am never used.
<tpw_rules>
but now that i think about it you'll have to modify nix with a haiku target too
<tpw_rules>
as long as it can be the same on every haiku install, i think changing it is fine
<extrowerk>
no, Haiku can't run linux binaries.
<tpw_rules>
you can use that compiler flag to change the directory too. but it can't be changed at runtime, and packages built for one directory couldn't be used in another. maybe the haiku community can come up with a common location that works on every machine, because i imagine haiku cannot run x86_64 linux binaries without modification anyway?
<tpw_rules>
on macos where writing to / is impossible too, the installer creates a separate logical volume to hold everything under /nix . can you not do something similar in haiku?

Hi, i am with the HaikuPorts team here, and just built nix on Haiku. So far success. But i don't know anything at all about nix, so i tried to follow the user guide, and met with some problems. Basically nix tries to write files into /nix/ folderstructure. But unlike unixes / on Haiku is not the root, it is a virtual folder, where every other drive gets mounted. So it is not allowed to create files here, only folders. How can i tel to

and i have windows, macos, haiku, bsd and a couple of linux distros in grub...that can be confusing to set in configuration.nix for me as a new nix user

over7head: and reactos. better than haiku in some ways. but haiku's networking is far better.

Has anyone tried haiku? How does that compare with nixos?
