       # Introduction
       
       For those who used Guix or Nixos you may know that running a binary
       downloaded from the internet will fail, this is because most expected
       paths are different than the usual Linux distributions.
       
       I wrote a simple utility to help fixing that, I called it
       "guix-linux-run", inspired by the "steam-run" command from NixOS
       (although it has no relation to Steam).
       
 (HTM) Gitlab project guix-linux-run
       
       # How to use
       
       Clone the git repository and make the command linux-run executable,
       install packages gcc-objc++:lib and gtk+ (more may be required later).
       
       Call "~/guix-linux-run/linux-run ./some_binary" and enjoy.
       
       If you get an error message like "libfoobar" is not available, try to
       install it with the package manager and try again, this is simply
       because the binary is trying to use a library that is not available in
       your library path.
       
       In the project I wrote a simple compatibility list from a few
       experiments, unfortunately it doesn't run everything and I still have
       to understand why, but it permitted me to play a few games from itch.io
       so it's a start.
