 maralorn | So … What is the 2026 way of running doctests as part of my nix-build? | 12:36:15 |
 Pierre Thierry | I'm trying to work on monoidal-functors, but although nix build succeeds, doing cabal build either from nix develop or my shell with direnv and use flake fails with
unknown package: these (dependency of monoidal-functors)
| 14:44:48 |
 toonn | Might Cabal be picking up a different GHC? | 14:46:14 |
| Pierre Thierry | It doesn't look like it, cabal --verbose build says
Running: /nix/store/a8h81f4wc2nc8qgrfsxvgfd8has0xh3r-ghc-9.6.3/bin/ghc --print-global-package-db
and the flake says ghc963 | 14:48:51 |
| maralorn | Apparently cabal-doctest works. Couldn’t get doctest-discover to run. | 17:19:16 |
| maralorn | But I still very much have no idea what I am doing … | 17:19:33 |

| Sigmanificient | Hello there, while having a conversation with my coincidentally named counterpart (i remember that), I discovered that haskell packages set has a at least a few packages that we should really not ship, as they has been removed after a report on the [https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/132](hackage-trustees ' Spam/fraudulent issue)
While both examples sigmaSquadron gave me are marked as broken, this is due to dependency mismatch, not that the source is gone, because we have it cached. | 00:30:52 |
 Fernando Rodrigues | Yeah, it's probably not ideal that the channels just randomly have sources for known fraudulent software. | 00:35:11 |
 ners | Does anyone have experience with pkgsCross.ghcjs? I'm trying to build a package that indirectly depends on zlib, and getting the following error: no C compiler provided for this platform
I can trace the error to here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/492f8a5b3855f5d5f3fa4d096acb073ec7c86e17/pkgs/stdenv/cross/default.nix#L118
I think I should be able to use emscripten as a C compiler, any idea how I could wire that up to get zlib to build? | 08:43:37 |
