Presentation

This tool is a simple wrapper that help running Linux binaries on Guix because otherwise you can't easily execute a binary that doesn't come from the system itself.

This is inspired by the steam-run wrapper available on NixOS, which is not related to Steam because it's used to run any Linux binary.

Usage

You need to have to following packages installed to make it work: gcc-objc++:lib glibc glib gcc gtk+ libxcomposite dbus-glib libxt.

Then to use it, it's as easy as: linux-run ./some_executable.

Integration

I will try to make it as a package into Guix so it will install the required dependencies in the profile when you install it.
