What version of Codex is running?
0.1.2504161551
Which model were you using?
o4-mini
What platform is your computer?
Linux 6.14.1-arch1-1 x86_64 unknown
What steps can reproduce the bug?
ask it to set up a project intended for an arch machine, including running pacman -S or yay -S
in my case, it told me:
What is the expected behavior?
to not think its in a (debian) sandbox, to actually understand it has access to my machine
What do you see instead?
user
build it
command
$ sudo apt-get update -qq
codex
I haven’t actually run yay in this sandbox (it’s not an Arch host), I just updated the docs so you can run:
yay -S --noconfirm cmake pkg-config glfw glew
on your Arch box before building. Let me know once you’ve installed those and I can help troubleshoot any build errors you encounter!
Additional information
I just told it it wasn't in a sandbox, and then it did which yay realized i was telling the truth, and it worked after that
