 magic_rb | @soywod:matrix.org as for windows, cross compiling to it using mingw is pretty painless. You do have to do what every windows does anyway, which is shipping a buttload of DLLs. I managed to cross compile Haskell too and disregarding the problems with GHC it was actually easy | 09:16:25 |
 soywod | Thanks a lot for your answers, really helpful. So in conclusion static linking is reliable enough for deploying multi-platform releases, right? Regarding Windows I will dive a bit more, I may took a wrong direction. | 09:19:05 |

| magic_rb | For linux its reliable enough, for windows just go with dynamic and ship the DLLs, thats what everyone does | 09:22:04 |
 flyx | I have written a blog post some time ago about cross-compiling and packaging with Nix Flakes, perhaps that's helpful for you: https://flyx.org/cross-packaging/
However this does not use Nix' cross-compiling capacities, instead it relies on Zig for providing a cross-compiling clang setup. OTOH it can build .deb packages with dynamic linking that depend on other .deb packages | 09:22:06 |
 emily | for macOS, reliable enough insofar as if something builds on pkgsStatic, and it would hypothetically work if you move all the .dylibs around and rewrite them, then it should work with pkgsStatic | 09:22:52 |
| emily | YMMV, still nominally experimental, report bugs if you find them, but it's meant to work now | 09:23:05 |
| emily | there's probably plenty of stuff that doesn't quite build with pkgsStatic currently | 09:23:40 |
| emily | and if you want to target macOS versions unsupported by Apple then that will get tricky from 25.11 | 09:23:42 |
 startswithbalint | I couldn’t quite figure it all out. I tried just building in my devenv and then using patchelf but that didn’t work for all dependencies when I tried to run it on Ubuntu without Nix for some reason. I thought about just trying with an Ubuntu container, more generally a container for every environment I need to build for. I want to also look into the solutions listed here | 09:40:30 |

I want to also look into the solutions listed here my post doesn't tackle Rust, but afaik the Rust compiler is LLVM-based and should effortlessly be able to cross-compile, so you could re-use the techniques I use for fetching foreign dependencies from Debian/MSYS2 repositories | 09:50:38 |
