@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna i also haven't tried building the image cross, or actually installing nixos yet. just building nix stuff on debian natively and booting into the installer to test results. i think you'll need mac-fdisk or pdisk to get your disk formatted in APM format, and hfsutils to create the HFS boot partition and bless stuff on it. 11:29:26
@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna fix for building pdisk: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/488404
hfsutils: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/488494

@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna rust cross that involves bindgen (i.e. mesa, but other stuff too) is borked because the target triplet fixes don't get passed through: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/473862
not sure if that'll affect building an iso cross though.

@stas:mainframe.lvStasthank you! I will try it out over the next weekend. I can also always bootstrap from an existing Linux distro if I have to11:35:00
@k900:0upti.meK900 It does 11:35:37
@k900:0upti.meK900The ISO ships Mesa11:35:40
@k900:0upti.meK900And I need to look at that PR again...11:35:45
@opna2608:matrix.orgPunaFWIW², i tried building servo on my debian installation (the nix package fails on some issues with the bundled ICU, building against system ICU gets further but then also fails on the bindgen stuff. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/471491). starts up fine and displays whatever website you passed to the command, but the window wouldn't respond to any inputs.11:41:52
@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna(and i haven't had the time nor energy to debug this further, wanna get the installer out of the way first)11:43:22
@grimmauld:m.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)oh yeah i hacked around the bindgen shenanigans when i did musl servo, that one was super weird and i am unqualified to actually properly fix it i am afraid11:43:52

@stas:mainframe.lvStasTempted to get it off the shelf now, but life has other priorities :)11:45:05
@stas:mainframe.lvStasKid did enjoy playing the OSX version of Starcraft on it11:46:03
@opna2608:matrix.orgPunai won't post mine, it's considerably more messed up. dude from bavaria shipped it with just a single layer of cardboard taped around it, and DHL did its thing. 😅11:47:21
@opna2608:matrix.orgPunaall the nice aluminium either has holes poked into it or has mostly broken off the frame. it's sitting on some wood blocks, otherwise it'd stand at a 45° angle.11:48:56
@stas:mainframe.lvStasI got it for 50EUR on Marketplace, while away from home. Just could not pass. Then it travelled in a car north to south almost all Europe.12:28:05
