 Alyssa Ross | I've spent a while staring at this | 09:06:39 |
| Alyssa Ross | I didn't get anywhere | 09:06:40 |
 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | you're giving me too much credit :( | 18:43:26 |
 Tristan Ross | In reply to @colemickens:matrix.org
I can't cross compile my aarch64 installer iso from x86-64-linux due to that package. Do you need access to an Ampere system lol | 22:51:52 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | nah, I could build it in GHA, but I generally like to be able to cross-compile at least the ISO. | 22:52:38 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | note that I have zero use whatsoever for this ISO, I just somehow like to keep it in my config and keep a pulse on how easy it is to cross-compile a minimal nixos system. | 22:53:15 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | (RIP: just realized the community box died, which of course makes sense give Equinox) | 23:13:47 |
 hexa | equinox? 🤔 | 23:38:58 |
| hexa | isn't that in march and september? | 23:39:08 |
| hexa | you mean equnix | 23:39:16 |
| hexa | * you mean equinix | 23:39:19 |
| hexa | https://hindenburgresearch.com/equinix/ | 23:39:26 |
| hexa | actually that report came out on this years march equinox 🤔 | 23:39:46 |
| hexa | march 20th | 23:39:50 |
| hexa | and nix-community has a replacement for the arm64 community builder | 23:40:02 |
| hexa | colemickens: ^ | 23:40:26 |
| 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 |
