why are you using three different distros to build a single application?

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Probably nixos to run distrobox with fedora, then using podman to run debian to compile the C application.

Well, first I tried compiling it on my own distro (which isn't listed in the image). Then I tried compiling it with the help of nix-shell (that's the NixOS logo).

Then I figured, fuck it, let's just launch a whole container for compiling, so I tried the distros listed in the official documentation (Debian and Fedora), which, you guessed it, didn't work either.

This is a hobby project that I'm trying to compile, so this definitely won't be the best showing of C, but still just astronomically more painful than it should be...
