Re: Installing frc toolchain on NixOS

Hey could someone make a package for Solaris or AIX? Thanks.

Free advice (it's mostly worthless) form a mentor and a cranky old IT dude (though definitely not as cranky as some around these parts) spare yourselves the pain and get Virtual Box or Workstation or Fusion or whatever Type 2 hypervisor you want and then install a Ubuntu or Windows VM and call it a day or get a more mainstream OS installed on another system you can use for development.

Spend all of the energy you would have spent on getting the software working on your totally k-rad custom OS and super customized development environment on making better robot code and improving the robot.

Or don't... delving into the world of stupid ideas like building Linux from Scratch and spending 3 days trying to discover how you fat-fingered a BASH script and couldn't boot with a useable key map all the while not being able to check your email for a missing assignment or studying for finals can lead to great things too!
