| lzcunt | oof I think I formatted it fine this time | 17:56:49 |
| lzcunt | * oof I think I formatted it fine this time, why are code blocks hard in matrix? | 17:57:01 |
 Greg Hellings | I feel this in my soul | 17:57:23 |
| lzcunt | this does not happen when building for a dynamic target tho | 17:57:44 |
 @curid:matrix.org | or when not cross-compiling | 17:58:15 |

| lzcunt | I can't test that lol | 17:58:51 |
| lzcunt | But good question | 17:59:04 |
| lzcunt | * I can't test that lol, I don't have anything native to this target yet | 17:59:46 |
| lzcunt | is it likely that the -static flag is broken because the checks say it doesn't? | 18:00:24 |
| lzcunt | * is it likely that the -static flag is broken because the checks say it doesn't work? | 18:00:30 |
| lzcunt | I should probably read config.log | 18:01:46 |
 Artturin | What's your target and what attr are you building? | 18:10:10 |
| lzcunt | The target is the mlibc target that I'm working on | 18:10:42 |
| lzcunt | mlibc does support static on linux, but i can't get it to build. right now only nonstatic builds | 18:13:00 |
| lzcunt | The attr is stdenvNoLibc.stdenv.cc.cc | 18:13:01 |
| lzcunt | sorry had a short connection loss | 18:13:12 |
| lzcunt | * mlibc does support static on linux, but i can't get it to build. right now only nonstatic builds. and this shouldn't really be related to mlibc because it's built without headers and is the nolibc compiler | 18:19:33 |

 DavHau | Can we revert this PR? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/169475
It generally seems to break cross compilation due to running OOM. What ever it fixes can't seem to be more important that being able to cross compile at all | 06:58:29 |

 otanaut | Hey, is there a way to build AND evaluate on a remote builder? | 22:54:45 |
 Tristan Ross | You could ssh in and run an eval. I think there's a way to copy a dev file and its dependencies to a remote? | 23:07:06 |
| otanaut | At the end, I am trying to contribute a package definition and test whether I can get the build right. Since I am on a Mac, I am using remote builders. coping around files, sshing and evaling doesnt sound continent for the development. | 23:24:16 |
