 trofi | Luckily gcc is CA-compatible, but glibc is not. As a result I have to use hacks like https://bpa.st/raw/5QWA just to make glibc work in CA (and in cases when I have to rewrite references to relocate glibc) :) | 07:02:13 |
 emily | __FILE__ has been a persistent painful cause of "trivial" self-references / unwanted references for me lately | 07:08:30 |
| emily | not even with CA derivations | 07:08:33 |
| trofi | At least macro expansion should be worked around by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/patches/13/mangle-NIX_STORE-in-__FILE__.patch | 10:50:46 |
 John Ericson | emily: I was working on a branch with Philip Taron (UTC-8) that builds GCC in parts like we do with LLVM | 15:03:08 |
| John Ericson | we are both pressed for time, but I very much want to see it done, as it cuts down on rebuilds and makes cross sane | 15:03:26 |
|  jopejoe1 (4094@39c3) changed their display name from jopejoe1 to jopejoe1 [4094]. | 18:17:59 |
| emily | I see | 19:10:12 |
| emily | fwiw we probably need to un-split some LLVM stuff since some of it is pretty broken. e.g. Clang having separate lib output breaks unwrapped compilers | 19:10:38 |

 truby | I'm trying to work out how to get a libcxxStdenv where my C++ dependencies are also built with libc++. I was thinking something along the lines of https://gist.github.com/DavidTruby/d0364e1637074a983a167fcecedd5847 but I couldn't get this to compile (fails to compile gettext)
Am I even thinking along the right lines here? | 17:46:50 |

I'm trying to work out how to get a libcxxStdenv where my C++ dependencies are also built with libc++. I was thinking something along the lines of https://gist.github.com/DavidTruby/d0364e1637074a983a167fcecedd5847 but I couldn't get this to compile (fails to compile gettext)
Am I even thinking along the right lines here? Yes. The problem is that gettext doesn’t support the newer llvm compiler. You could introduce an overlay to set llvmPackages = self.llvmPackages_17 (or whatever version is needed to build gettext) | 18:10:30 |
| truby | I thought the latest gettext fixed that? or has that not made it into nixpkgs yet? | 18:12:00 |
| Tristan Ross | I thought I fixed it months ago | 18:26:10 |
 Artturin | yep https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/348676 | 18:26:37 |
| truby | I did see a patch to upgrade to gettext 0.22 which should have fixed it, but my graph still pulls in 0.21 | 18:27:29 |
| Artturin | Now it's fixed without the patch https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/358254 patch removed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/360044 | 18:28:50 |
| Artturin | 0.22.5 | 18:28:55 |
| Tristan Ross | Make sure you're on the right nixpkgs | 18:29:14 |
| truby | I did a nix flake update right before trying the build | 18:29:27 |
| Tristan Ross | What's your nixpkgs git rev? | 18:29:47 |
| truby | I'll have to get back to you on that, I'm not on my nixos machine rn 😅 | 18:30:06 |
| truby | Tristan Ross: on an unrelated note while you're here (since you look like the person to ask about Nix LLVM?) do you know if anyone has tried packaging flang? Asking because I'm happy to have a look at it/help out with it not because I actually need it for anything (I work on flang for my day job 😰) | 18:32:02 |
| Tristan Ross | I'm not familiar with flang at all | 18:32:45 |
| Tristan Ross | I might look into it after the LLVM libc PR is merged | 18:32:57 |
