 rhelmot | commenting out the propagatedBuildInputs/depsTargetTargetPropagated assignment on qmake-hook and that seems to fix some things but the ramifications... unknown lol. will run nixpkgs-review soon | 03:51:11 |
 Artturin | In reply to @rhelmot:matrix.org
is qt cross just totally busted? I'm failing both aarch64-linux and x86_64-freebsd cross for qt5.qtsvg with errors related to multiple qtbases ending up in inputs Yup and there's a few pr which may fix it | 03:59:02 |
| Artturin | Use the cross label and in:title qt5 | 03:59:24 |
 Tristan Ross | Yes, I've been wanting the issue fixed so I can get Steam "built" crossly onto aarch64 so I can do gaming on Ampere lol. It's still been broken. | 04:04:22 |
 emily | I thought Qt 5 cross was inherently broken upstream or something | 04:10:45 |
| emily | but that Qt 6 could work | 04:10:51 |
 Greg Hellings | Qt5 can be made to work, depending on target. Here's the patchset that Fedora uses to cross compile qt5 base for just Mingw targets: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mingw-qt5-qtbase/tree/rawhide | 04:40:06 |
| Greg Hellings | But that is a LOT of patches. | 04:40:16 |
| rhelmot | thanks for the hints, after a bit of tentative hacking I have cast qt5 into the shadow realm and am now building with qt6 | 07:46:50 |
| rhelmot | on the gtk side, I got pkgsCross.x86_64-freebsd.xfce.xfdesktop to build while on a 14 hours trans-pacific flight... | 07:48:13 |

| rhelmot | if only gitlab.freedesktop.org were up... this could truly be the year of the freebsd desktop | 07:48:54 |

 Axman6 | Is there an easy way to make a wrapper for a binary which executes it using hostPlatform.emulator? | 01:03:34 |

Is there an easy way to make a wrapper for a binary which executes it using hostPlatform.emulator? Yes
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/fcd099251655af6f7c935df9baf72b5963f33e86/pkgs/tools/admin/winbox/default.nix#L50 (here src is a exe)
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ANixOS%2Fnixpkgs+%2FmakeWrapper.%2Bjre%2F&type=code | 01:11:47 |
| Axman6 | right - so you'd use something makeWrapper ${hostPlatform.emulator buildPackages} --args ${package}/bin/foo? | 01:21:41 |
| Artturin | You're forgetting the destination path, and it's --add-flags | 01:28:37 |
| Axman6 | uh, yep - I should've just copied and pasted what I wrote in my derivation =) | 03:55:04 |

| fzakaria | 👋
is there a stdenv for musl without using pkgsMusl ? | 05:01:34 |
| Tristan Ross | No | 05:11:42 |
| Tristan Ross | But I have plans for things of that nature | 05:11:50 |
| Tristan Ross | It'll be some time but I'm working on decoupling things in a way that allows up to swap out toolchain related things more ad-hoc with {host,build,target}Platform. | 05:12:38 |
| fzakaria | oh thtat's cool; I have some really bad Nix code trying to build some stuff very specifically in musl | 19:16:06 |
| fzakaria | to avoid "mass rebuilds" -- it's so fragile. I tried moving things to overlay and too much borked | 19:16:18 |

| rhelmot | I'm having trouble parsing the logic behind hostOffset in setup hooks. Is the idea that if I'm currently running for a package that was brought in as a buildInput it'll be 0 and if it's a nativeBuildInput it'll be 1? | 01:52:53 |
 John Ericson | -1 for native build input iirc? | 03:09:34 |
| John Ericson | But I could forget | 03:09:38 |

 @rosssmyth:matrix.org | Is there an example somewhere of where multilib + crosspkgs is broken? From #380325
What would it take to fix it?
