nix-environments

This repository contains my configuration for FHS User Environments on NixOS for apps that misbehave due to NixOS not being FHS compliant.

Installation

• Copy respective folders to the location you want, ideally /home/<username>
• Follow instructions below for the respective folder

./arduino-env

Out-of-tree modules, such as ones from unofficial Arduino boards, may require installation of a vendor-provided compiler. This environment allows you to do so.

• nix-build fhs-env.nix
• ./arduino-env.sh
• Run arduino, making sure you are in arduino-env when doing so

./ccstudio-env

TI's Code Composer Studio runs in an FHS User Environment just fine. Tested and fully operational with TI LaunchPad w/ MSP432

• nix-build fhs-env.nix
• Create a directory for the installer, ideally ./installer
• Extract CCStudio installer into the directory
• ./ccstudio-env.sh
• Run ccs**.run in ./installer/CCS**
• Install to any directory, ideally ./ccstudio
• Run ccstudiio, making sure you are in ccstudio-env when doing so
• If MSP432 SimpleLink, or likewise dependencies are needed, installing to their default directories should be picked up by CCStudio

./matlab-env

MATLAB runs with hardware-acceleration in an FHS User Environment just fine. Tested and fully operational with scripts.

• nix-build fhs-env.nix
• Create a directory for the installer, ideally ./installer
• Extract the MATLAB installer into the directory
• ./matlab-env.sh
• Run install in ./installer
• Install to any directory, ideally ./matlab
• Run matlab and make sure you are in matlab-env when starting MATLAB
• Depending on the installer, sometimes the script will show an error regarding the included dependencies, just follow the directions to fix matlab-env
