 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | oh! interesting. And funny catch on that report. | 23:41:30 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I did find it interesting that my ssh client prompted for a password. I don't actually need it though, was just curious. Appreciate the heads up though! | 23:41:55 |

| QuadRadical (Ping) | Hello, I'm trying to resolve this cross-compilation build issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/424694
I tried based on a suggestion in #NixOS on ARM to move lvm2 from buildInputs to depsBuildBuild, which results in a different error (just adding it to both makes no difference, original error):
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: failed to run custom build command for `devicemapper-sys v0.3.2`
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `/build/source/target/release/build/devicemapper-sys-9444e4d34953f84b/build-script-build` (exit status: 101)

The system library `devmapper` required by crate `devicemapper-sys` was not found.
The file `devmapper.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains the following:
- /nix/store/dgkyx5chvihgvmgb8pvc8qxq4gqm37b6-systemd-minimal-libs-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-257.6-dev/lib/pkgconfig

HINT: you may need to install a package such as devmapper, devmapper-dev or devmapper-devel.

| QuadRadical (Ping) | Any help would be appreciated, thanks. | 20:05:05 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | oh god that thing | 20:24:03 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | i poked it briefly until i decided the rust crate is just semi-broken in a way that is pain to patch | 20:24:34 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | oh no haha | 20:24:41 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | its a dependency of udisks | 20:24:45 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | so i cant cross compile gnome otherwise | 20:24:49 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | is it a hard dep of udisks? | 20:25:02 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | I dont know i just know i built and i got an error from this | 20:25:36 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/blob/3dce2444723a3d5781a5de3c0d35faf82e7104e4/Makefile.am#L16
you might get away with disabling device mapper support on libblockdev when on cross, then drop thin-provisioning-tools from that. Not nice, but maybe the simplest to get a full cross gnome again | 20:30:04 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | hmm | 20:31:39 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | you might lose some LVM support though, so not great | 20:31:46 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i cannot fix the cross compilation? | 20:31:48 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | i couldn't fix it, doesn't mean you can't | 20:32:01 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | right so the issue is in the crate itself? | 20:32:11 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | yeah but youre better with nix than me lol | 20:32:22 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | eh, i only stabbed it for like half an hour, wasn't too serious about it | 20:32:51 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | ah oke | 20:33:26 |
