Segmentation fault (core dumped)
:( | 22:10:14 |
| Puna | i'd believe it | 22:10:20 |
| magic_rb | though tbf im also running this through fucking qemu which isnt helping probably | 22:10:36 |
| magic_rb | can hetzner VMs execute armv6? probably not | 22:10:53 |
| Puna | if you do wanna go the debian GHC way, you can yoink code from this

cross-compiled haskell.compiler.ghc94 just segfaulted the moment i tried to do anything with it on ppc64. maybe it does better on armv6 though.
otherwise, trixie has a prebuilt ghc 9.6.6 for armel that you could yoink for bootstrapping, I think that should work for armv6?
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/ghc Try overriding it to force an unregisterised build (there is an option in the arguments for this). | 22:14:26 |

| Puna | that works, neat!

| magic_rb | Howd you overwrite it? Show code | 00:04:25 |

| 00:04:46 |
| magic_rb | Ill have to do the same most likely | 00:04:51 |
| magic_rb | Didnt they plan to remove unregistered builds? | 00:05:00 |
| magic_rb | Though, theyve been planning to remove unregistered ever since i know what GHC is, sooo probably not happening soon | 00:05:39 |
| Alex | In reply to @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org
Didnt they plan to remove unregistered builds? That's no good if GHC can't generate valid code with NCG/LLVM for your platform.
Anyway, it might not be needed for newer GHCs (IIRC with RISC-V changing Nixpkgs version without changing GHC fixed the registerised segfault). | 00:08:53 |
