 emily | we're just doing Rust here | 20:52:21 |
| emily | but we're setting it in the pkg-config hook to accommodate the Rust thing | 20:52:28 |
| emily | which uses variables nobody else does, for fun | 20:52:36 |
| emily | and I think assigns different semantics to them than others, for fun | 20:52:44 |
 dramforever | okay so HOST_PKG_CONFIG is just doing nothing...? | 20:52:49 |
| emily | well it's doing the same thing as PKG_CONFIG in non-cross builds | 20:53:03 |
| emily | for cross builds it's never used, I guess. | 20:53:11 |
| emily | or well | 20:53:21 |
| dramforever | ah | 20:53:22 |
| emily | it's used in the build scripts | 20:53:23 |
| emily | or, uh | 20:53:27 |
| emily | I mean, it's used when targeting … augh | 20:53:35 |
| emily | you know what I mean. hopefully | 20:53:41 |
| dramforever | wanna get angry? linux makefiles take HOSTPKG_CONFIG | 20:53:56 |
| emily | it seems like the library will fundamentally only think about the host ("target") platform | 20:54:22 |
