 fzakaria | I filed https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13782 | 21:14:51 |
| fzakaria | my pkg-config knowledge is meh; so please augment it with anything that makes sense. | 21:28:26 |
 emily | seems correct to me | 21:35:23 |
 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Welp boost doesn't ship pkg-config and never will | 21:36:58 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Not sure that is a good idea in general. Boost is a mess, no doubt there's a 1000 ways this could blow up if we try to be clever and add boost's include paths to the public flags | 21:38:55 |
| emily | it's expected by pkg-config that things required for header dependencies are included in the public flags though, no? | 21:39:27 |
| emily | the alternative is that the Nix libraries should at least propagatedBuildInputs it I suppose | 21:39:41 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | It does | 21:39:45 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | (Propagate the build inputs that is) | 21:39:59 |
| fzakaria | Not sure why it doesn't find it though maybe the hook for pkg-config doesn't work on propagatedBuildInputs | 21:40:35 |
| fzakaria | I put a full reproducer | 21:40:38 |
