 Adam Neverwas | its working now | 18:58:22 |
| Adam Neverwas | I mean i have rust-analyzer, finally | 18:58:37 |
 @curid:matrix.org | how would one learn the fundamentals? | 18:59:20 |
 Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | start from scratch | 18:59:44 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | write it yourself | 18:59:46 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | make sure you understand what each function is | 18:59:54 |
| Adam Neverwas | fundumentals first | 18:59:56 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | and most importantly, close any tab with an LLM | 19:00:14 |
 @awwpotato:envs.net | https://nix.dev/ is best resource to start with | 19:00:32 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | Not sure if it teaches flakes | 19:00:57 |
| @curid:matrix.org | don't i need to learn what a function is first? | 19:00:58 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | In reply to @curid:matrix.org
don't i need to learn what a function is first? x: x + 1 | 19:01:25 |
| @awwpotato:envs.net | it only mentions them | 19:01:45 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | * (x: x + 1) 3 | 19:01:45 |
| @curid:matrix.org | how would one find documentation for the pkgs.writeScriptBin function for example? | 19:04:31 |
| Adam Neverwas | Learn whats documentation first | 19:05:27 |
| @awwpotato:envs.net | https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#trivial-builder-writeScriptBin | 19:05:40 |

| n8henrie | Didn't get any bites in the main channel --
I've been hoping to get this PR working for darwin -- a python / rust (via maturin / PyO3) project that I think just needs to enable the system feature of the libffi-sys crate (same fix as https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/368102).
Unfortunately in this case the libffi-sys crate is a few dependencies deep, and the parent packages don't expose any feature flags to enable libffi/system (which enables libffi-sys/system):
$ cargo tree -i libffi-sys
libffi-sys v3.2.0
├── deno_ffi v0.190.0
│ └── deno_runtime v0.211.0
│ └── vl-convert-rs v1.7.0 (/private/tmp/nix-build-python3.12-vl-convert-python-1.7.0.drv-0/source/vl-convert-rs)
│ ├── vl-convert v1.7.0 (/private/tmp/nix-build-python3.12-vl-convert-python-1.7.0.drv-0/source/vl-convert)
│ └── vl-convert-python v1.7.0 (/private/tmp/nix-build-python3.12-vl-convert-python-1.7.0.drv-0/source/vl-convert-python)
└── libffi v4.0.0
└── deno_ffi v0.190.0 (*)
Any suggestions for enabling this feature flag a few dependency layers deep?

 Alyssa Ross | I think you can do it by setting it in the top level Cargo.toml | 19:42:59 |
 @r522:matrix.org | if it's not exposed, you can take a dep on libffi-sys directly yourself, and set the feature there
(that's more fragile since you need to use the same version as exists in the dependency, ideally the dependencies would let you pass the system feature)

I think you can do it by setting it in the top level Cargo.toml I'll try, thanks! | 21:53:39 |

Do you mean a nix dependency? Or in cargo.toml as suggested by Alyssa Ross? | 21:54:32 |
| @r522:matrix.org | in cargo.toml, yeah | 21:54:58 |

 Randy Eckenrode | Can you modify the crate source in rustPlatform.fetchCargoVendor? | 00:26:52 |
