-Nix replaces the three dependencies above.

-Guix is compatible with Nix, so it is possible to share the same store
-between both. To do so, you must pass @command{configure} not only the
-same @code{--with-store-dir} value, but also the same
-@code{--localstatedir} value. The latter is essential because it
-specifies where the database that stores metadata about the store is
-located, among other things. The default values for Nix are
-@code{--with-store-dir=/nix/store} and @code{--localstatedir=/nix/var}.
-Note that @code{--disable-daemon} is not required if
-your goal is to share the store with Nix.
