Hi Raahul,

thanks for your answer. I know there exists binaries for linux. I could
extract the zip from the mcaffee install script. It contains two deb and
two rpm packages and it looks for dpkg or rpm to install them. I think I
could probably extract the contents from the rpm/deb packages but then I
need to patch the binaries so that they find the shared libs on nixos,
right?  How can I do this, I'd guess with `patchelf` but I'm not sure
how to use it correctly.

Thanks and regards
Eike

That would be an option I could well live with ;-) but I'm afraid it
doesn't count…

Would running mcaffee in a windows VM count ? :p

[Nix-dev] mcaffee on nixos?

[Eike]

Hi all,

I may be allowed to install my favorite Linux distro on my corporate
notebook (a mac…). But there is the requirement that I run a mcaffee
agent. Does possibly anyone has experience with that? Is it feasible or
should I not bother and install Debian?


Thanks for any hints!
Regards
Eike
