After fighting with various installations problems, I finally gave Nix some time.
It happened that compiling Nix under 9legacy was simple enough: the only thing I had to do was to substitute Ureg.ip to Ureg.pc The: https://github.com/tlaronde/nix is up-to-date and one can download the sources (and install) via: term% cd some_dir term% hget http://downloads.kergis.com/nix/nix-9legacy.tgz | tar xz term% nixdir=some_dir/nix term% $nixdir/sys/src/nix/nix # setup the namespace term% cd $nixdir/sys/src/nix/boot term% objtype=amd64 term% mk term% cd ../k10 term% mk ../root/nvram term% mk The multiboot code is the original one so, since Paul had to adjust the code in the 9front main variant because the spec has moved, using the kernel with Grub or some code expecting present multiboot spec will probably need adjustments. For my part, since I have a candidate hardware (cheap AM08PRO with 8 hardware AMD64 Ryzen 9 cores), I will go back to the RTL 8125 driver that is a sine qua none to use it---and I set to myself the limit date of Monday March the 7th to have it doing its stuff. -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ kergis +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tb9ac567b4bcfa86e-M285f8f9a40a6a37c9a0cecbb Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
