 Artturin | made this thing so I can pass the native pkgs around without using specialArgs | 20:51:39 |
 eb | Nice, ty.
I did a similar thing to avoid specialArgs, but with pkgs.unstable as an overlay for nixpkgs-unstable when I needed it downstream for other reasons.

 szlend | How come this is an issue with CGO disabled? It shouldn’t use CC at all | 07:55:18 |
| Artturin | Yesterday I found an issue somewhere which IIRC mentioned something about something trying to use CGO/compiler even when it's off | 17:32:21 |
| Artturin | I'm trying to find it again | 17:32:28 |
| Artturin | That likely is the root cause of the issue as before just disabling CGO and unsetting GOARCH was enough https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/commit/78b312a895f8368746318bacb2634a151e8ea6ae | 17:38:09 |
| szlend | Maybe this will fix it? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/458867/ | 19:54:37 |
| szlend | Or maybe even https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/461615 | 19:55:17 |

| Artturin | Both are in unstable already :P | 20:28:32 |
| Artturin | The first one probably fixed it | 20:28:52 |
| Artturin | But was reverted | 20:29:14 |
| Artturin | Well maybe not, I don't see anything that would have fixed it | 20:36:43 |
| Artturin | It used to work in August | 20:37:15 |

 bake.monorail | Not sure anyone is interested but I'm trying to get ld64 (Apple's linker) to work on Linux. Broader plan is to be able to cross-compile hello for macOS from Linux | 18:30:00 |

Broader plan is to be able to cross-compile hello for macOS from Linux
is that huh feasible? I thought building for macos required all sorts of proprietary/legal shenanigans
| 22:11:14 |
 Randy Eckenrode | My ld64 fork is set up to not need private headers, which should make the port easier. There’s a bunch of platform-specific stuff that needs updated to use portable APIs or a different implementation on non-Darwin. | 22:14:25 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I’d suggest any such work start from there. We don’t use cctools-port. | 22:16:16 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Somewhat longer term, I want to rewrite at least some parts of ld64 in Swift. It does a lot of pointer fiddling and other unsafe stuff. There was a ton of UB fixed a release or two ago. | 22:17:10 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I wanted to work on making it build on Linux at some point even without that, but there are other priorities like Swift. | 22:19:52 |
| Randy Eckenrode | When I resync with upstream, I’ll incorporate any patches people have submitted to nixpkgs to fix the build. | 22:20:06 |
| bake.monorail | I just managed to get ld64 from cctools-port to build. What's wrong with that? | 22:23:03 |
| bake.monorail | libtapi doesn't look like great code either, but I'd avoid frontloading rewriting code in order to be able to cross-compile for macOS. | 22:26:56 |
