 Artturin | * The reason nativeBuildInputs works for you is that you're not using a cross stdenv so strictDeps isn't enabled | 15:44:35 |
| Artturin | pkgsCross.mingwW64.windows.pthreads you can put this in buildInputs and it won't need pkgsHostTarget | 15:47:15 |
| Artturin | * pkgsCross.mingwW64.windows.pthreads you can put this in buildInputs and it won't need a explciit pkgsHostTarget | 15:47:26 |

|  Aoinoikaz joined the room. | 15:48:41 |
 dramforever | oh, i missed that completely and was wondering why you need it in depsBuildBuild | 19:38:52 |
| dramforever | depsBuildBuild is what's making it select a x86_64-linux windows.pthreads | 19:39:40 |
| dramforever | (which does not exist) | 19:39:45 |
| dramforever | it working before was the broken state, where depsBuildBuild has failed to select the x86_64-linux one | 19:42:51 |
| dramforever | oh wait i probably misunderstood | 19:46:42 |
| dramforever | do you mean you were using pkgsCross.mingwW64.stdenv.mkDerivation? that would do the right thing wrt dependencies | 19:47:14 |
| dramforever | if you were just adding pkgsCross.mingwW64.stdenv.cc it wouldn't change the fact that you have a native x86_64-linux stdenv | 19:47:56 |

| Artturin | This should really be true so you can be sure that you have the right behaviour | 19:51:55 |
| dramforever | i can't tell if this crane thing is doing the right thing | 19:53:08 |
 @rosssmyth:matrix.org | If you are using Crane, if you use pkgsCross.mingwW64.callPackage, you do not have to manually specify windows.pthreads | 19:54:18 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | Because of a change a really cool person did
https://github.com/ipetkov/crane/commit/7cc51a10ddafa9ed1693afdf26d1bffb6ce027a0 | 19:55:13 |
| dramforever | ... i fail to see how | 19:55:19 |
| dramforever | ooooh | 19:55:42 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | It checks what stdenv is being used | 19:55:48 |
| dramforever | because it's handled in crane | 19:55:49 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | I want to do this in Nixpkgs for rustPlatform.buildRustPackage but no one seems to be able to agree how to do it | 19:56:20 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | So it's just not done atm | 19:56:28 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | There is an attempt to do it, but it doesn't work | 19:56:38 |

| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | Doesn't work because rustc nor the rustc wrapper never looks are buildInputs | 19:57:38 |

| dramforever | this is kind of weird | 20:01:30 |
| dramforever | so i don't understand why rustc needs to know this | 20:01:56 |
