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…
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.
why are you using three different distros to build a single 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
according to the meme it’s just compiling, no other build steps… suspicious

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