How to solve all nixos problems in 2 steps

(my new war crime)

STEP 1

Note: make sure to create the /lib dir before

# legacy way:
#gcc_path=$(nix eval nixpkgs.gcc-unwrapped.lib.outPath | tr -d '"')

# with flakes:
gcc_path=$(nix eval --raw .#h_pkgs.gcc-unwrapped.lib.outPath | tr -d '"')

gcc_libs=($(ls "${gcc_path}/lib/"))

for l in ${gcc_libs[*]}; do sudo ln -vs "$gcc_path/lib/$l" "/keep/lib/$l"; done

STEP 2

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/keep/lib"

you are welcome
