 emily | I hate that | 03:55:36 |
 dramforever | that's not a real cpu name | 04:00:44 |
| dramforever | but yes i need mips3 | 04:00:48 |
| dramforever | rust's default mips64el is mips64r2 | 04:01:02 |
| dramforever | * but yes i need -march=mips3 | 04:01:18 |
| dramforever | why the hell does everything have mesonFlags | 05:17:22 |
| dramforever | why the hell is there cmakeFlags and mesonFlags in pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix | 05:18:03 |
| dramforever | i can't fix this, i'll leave this be | 06:08:45 |

why the hell is there cmakeFlags and mesonFlags in pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix I was very surprised too when I first encountered it. | 11:36:27 |
| Toma | I'm guessing it is there so that splicing/cross doesn't make us use targetPackages or other hacky things (because cmake goes into nativeBuildInputs, shifting the offset)
just a guess, though | 11:44:01 |

 Alyssa Ross | I thought it was for typing/validation | 11:46:23 |
| Alyssa Ross | I remember being a bit annoyed about it when it happened | 11:46:31 |
| Toma | interesting...
cmakeFlags was added to stdenv 7 years ago in https://github.com/hercules-ci/nixpkgs/commit/b3041b44552f50109760e7fa41a16636e4b4d5c0
and 3 years ago, some type-checking logic was added to it: https://github.com/hercules-ci/nixpkgs/commit/3173c3b6b61cd06620bda26ac8f0b674866d6101
in any case, I don't want to pollute this room anymore with cursed non-rust stuff, rust has enough cursed stuff itself. | 12:13:42 |
