 winston | hmm I just ran that script on c8d36fe and didn't get that error, but all I got were two maintainers changes, idk if that still means it succeeded | 13:16:05 |

| winston | ah interesting, I tried with Nix 2.28.3 | 13:58:12 |

| sterni (he/him) | Currently looks like GHC removal project will at least kill armv7l-linux and powerpc64le-linux for GHC (the latter was very unreliable anyways, so probably not a big loss). Unless, of course, we can cross compiled GHC as bootstrap seed to work. | 15:18:20 |
| sterni (he/him) | I think armv7l is de facto dead as well, but nixpkgs CI checks eval of it?? Probably more GHC availability checks need to be added before we can drop support. | 15:19:24 |
 emily | armv7 support in Nixpkgs is pretty bad at this point I think | 15:19:56 |
 maralorn | sterni: When I want GHC to set a flag when calling cc during a compilation. Is there an environment variable I can set in my Haskell package derivation? Or is it correct that I can only set that variable during compilation of GHC via CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2. It seems kinda fishy to me because I basically only want to affect runtime behavior of the compiler. | 15:43:27 |

It seems kinda fishy to me because I basically only want to affect runtime behavior of the compiler. I see a -optc and a -optlc (for llvm... Not sure why there's two) on GHC directly , but maybe you're asking about a different level of the stack | 16:44:04 |

It seems kinda fishy to me because I basically only want to affect runtime behavior of the compiler. I don't believe it can be done with env vars | 17:38:26 |
| Artem | I think it's only the flags that @b:chreekat.net: mentioned | 17:39:45 |

It doesn't unless you're compiling C code or you have an unregisterised GHC.
Nixpkgs' cc-wrapper may allow you to add extra options via an environment variable.
I cannot recall what environment variables it reads. | 17:41:18 |
| maralorn | I think I figured it out. | 17:58:41 |
| maralorn | And yes ghc calls cc. For c code and for linking. | 17:58:41 |
| maralorn | Well I guess -optlc might actually do what I want also. | 18:19:06 |
| sterni (he/him) | -optc and friends is right yes | 18:54:28 |
| Alex | Doesn't it call ld for linking? | 19:22:42 |
| maralorn | Well, at least not for the js backend. There emscripten is used for linking iiuc. | 21:34:09 |
 alexfmpe | clearly we should have ghci running natively on browsers instead of compiling to javascript to interpret | 21:40:35 |
| 29 May 2025 |
| sterni (he/him) | then -optl I guess, didn't read too carefully above | 09:18:05 |
|  @deeok:matrix.org joined the room. | 20:04:46 |
| sterni (he/him) | alexfmpe: okay about the android platform thing… I've realized I just remembering an amjoseph PR and hallucinated it was an actual feature in lib: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/212188 | 23:49:07 |
| alexfmpe | Aaah | 23:50:56 |

|  la .varik. .VALefor. changed their profile picture. | 02:41:29 |
 jean-paul. | How do I specify that all of the test suites should be built, but none should be executed? | 12:51:47 |
| jean-paul. | One hack I see is to manually set "checkPhase" so it does nothing and set the other options as you would normally set them to build & run the tests | 12:57:05 |
| maralorn | Yay, staging moved to staging-next. Soon we can work on haskell-updates again. | 17:34:47 |
| alexfmpe | Ah finally | 18:02:57 |
