| sterni | ius: getent likely only sets name and not pname / version, so the config isn't mangled into the final derivation name | 13:33:58 |
| ius | hmm, so you're saying it should target ppc, yet just doesn't have a mangled name? | 13:34:46 |
| ius | Cause I ran into a build failure of one of its dependencies, and ended up being confused whether it should be a cross package or not. | 13:35:54 |
| sterni | In reply to @ius:nltrix.net
hmm, so you're saying it should target ppc, yet just doesn't have a mangled name? yes | 13:36:30 |
| sterni | getent is a wrapper derivation generated using runCommand, so it doesn't have the pname/version split | 13:37:06 |
| ius | Right, if I build it separately I can see it builds a derivation of the mangled version as well as the wrapper. In that case, the issue is in the dependency | 13:38:13 |
| ius | ar x /nix/store/y7z59i6l25m46jdqgqxjpbzsq4npd9mb-compat-netbsd-9.1-powerpc-unknown-linux-musl/lib/libnbcompat.a db.lo

| 13:42:45 |
| ius | Git history tells me it should cross compile, but I don't see how that's supposed to work looking at the source: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specific/bsd/netbsd/default.nix#L160
# the build system re-runs `./configure` with `HOST_CC` (which is their
# name for Build CC) as a compiler to make `defs.mk`, which is installed
depsBuildBuild = [ buildPackages.stdenv.cc ] ++ commonDeps;
HOST_CC = "${buildPackages.stdenv.cc.targetPrefix}cc";
| 13:48:40 |
| ius | It seems to run configure with a correct --host, but then run it again with CC set to the build cc, then make afterwards obviously results in wrong output | 13:51:03 |

| Rick (Mindavi) | Hey! Just found out there's a room for cross-compilation :) | 08:19:23 |
 Domen Kožar | ius: nice, see https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/283 | 12:25:04 |
| sterni | Domen Kožar: btw we can have fork()ing binaries with binfmt_misc in user space however the executable formats need to be registered via /proc first, so this is inherently impure, sadly | 13:44:14 |
| Domen Kožar | sterni (he/him): does that require sudo? | 13:44:56 |
| sterni | yes | 13:50:51 |
