| not-jack | looked online and saw some non nix-y solutions but was wondering if there is a simple fix | 09:55:23 |
 sterni (he/him) | well you need to make libGL available is what the error tells you. How to do that depends on what exactly you're doing and what you're using which isn't totally clear from what you've stated. | 10:14:19 |
 maralorn | btw. what’s the state of our branch? | 10:18:11 |
| maralorn | Wow, hls broken again?? | 10:20:23 |
| maralorn | Huh, maybe it wasn’t fixed on staging-next and we didn’t notice. | 10:21:00 |
| maralorn | That would be more plausible. | 10:21:08 |
| not-jack | oops, fixed it | 12:12:25 |
| sterni (he/him) | > time git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/haskell-updates

 leona | github currently really struggles with NIxpkgs' size | 21:42:18 |
| sterni (he/him) | I think pretty okay, but you'll know more after https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1820195 | 21:47:06 |

 Alex | Would any of the haskellPackages maintainers be interested in reviewing/merging this PR to add microhs package sets?

 magic_rb | anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) | 20:43:05 |

anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) Start from 9.4. | 20:48:04 |
| Alex | 9.4 can be done cross, >= 9.6 doesn't work (unless upstream fixed it?) | 20:48:28 |

anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) This repository builds GHC for RISC-V from an older commit of nixpkgs, but it should demonstrate how to do it.
https://github.com/AlexandreTunstall/nixos-riscv | 20:49:57 |
| Alex | In particular, see modules/compilers/ghc.nix | 20:50:40 |
| magic_rb | goddamn armv6l-linux isnt even in the default cross set | 20:52:18 |
| magic_rb | this will almost certainly go horribly, i doubt ghc even support armv6 officially | 20:54:53 |
| Alex | It's possible that they used to but eventually dropped support for it. | 21:04:42 |
| magic_rb | Im currently building llvm, we'll see how much ghc explodes | 21:06:02 |
| magic_rb | Armv6 is ancient and i dont blame anyone for dropping it | 21:06:13 |
| Alex | Oh, I might be confusing it with armv7l | 21:06:33 |
