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

      The why is a good question, but I’d also like to know “How?”

        I’d assume virtual machines - as for why, just checking their program works on different systems I guess

            Yeah, probably more boring than I assumed; podman with 1 apt based distro, one rpm based distro, and Nixos. Each doing an independent build and packaging in their respective builds systems.

            I was hoping for some rube Goldberg’s machine of compilation, but that’s probably not the case.

      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…
