 Randy Eckenrode | I should be opening the refactor PR soon-ish, which will include Darwin cross-compilation. Somewhat. Some things can’t work (like Python). Others need discovered/work to fix. I’m only making sure GNU hello, Nix, and the source releases can be cross-compiled. People can fix other stuff as it’s discovered. | 19:17:42 |
 Artturin | linux -> darwin cross? | 19:17:57 |
| Artturin | or darwin darwin | 19:18:01 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Darwin-Darwin. Linux to Darwin needs considerable work. | 19:18:12 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I consider both a waste of time, but people want it. | 19:18:22 |
 K900 | I assume we care about Darwin cross purely because of x86_64 to aa64? | 19:19:32 |

I assume we care about Darwin cross purely because of x86_64 to aa64? Supposedly both ways. Some want to avoid Rosetta 2 I think. | 19:19:52 |
| K900 | Because the other way around is just Rosetta | 19:19:54 |
| K900 | Uhh | 19:19:59 |
| K900 | OK | 19:20:00 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Yeah. For your trouble, you can’t build anything that depends on Python on the target platform. | 19:20:15 |
| Artturin | The libtool PR should have a minimal rebuild amount and libxo doesn't have many deps so you can test it quickly with git apply - <<< $(curl "https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/341882.patch") | 19:20:45 |
| K900 | And Python just what, doesn't support Darwin cross at all? | 19:20:58 |
| Artturin | Basically everything requires python at some point in the tree | 19:21:30 |
| Randy Eckenrode | libxo is in the Darwin stdenv, so I won’t be testing until I’m ready for mass rebuilds. I’m currently trying to work towards getting my regression flake fully built, so I can start working towards finishing up the details and preparing the PR. | 19:21:33 |

And Python just what, doesn't support Darwin cross at all? https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/90905 | 19:21:48 |
| Randy Eckenrode | There’s another issue that’s over a decade old. | 19:22:03 |
| K900 | Yep makes sense | 19:22:16 |
| K900 | I appreciate how the comments on the issue are just various forms of "why would you ever" | 19:23:40 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Is Perl supposed to support cross-compilation? It appears to fail at patching. | 20:00:33 |
| Artturin | Yes, pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.perl is cached on linux | 20:03:23 |
| Artturin | Error? | 20:03:33 |

| Randy Eckenrode | I checked and didn’t really see any updates though. | 20:05:12 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Looks like I might need some patches from staging. | 20:07:33 |
