 6pak | GGG replied to your question about buildPackages | 00:56:32 |
| 6pak | if after reading the link you are still confused, don't worry, I think everyone is | 00:56:42 |
| 6pak | imo the mess comes from the implicit splicing mechanic, it would be much clearer if you were forced to explicitly reference the package set but oh well | 00:57:54 |
 GGG | Huh, I thought `hostPlatform` was already the machine it's being built on | 01:00:43 |
| 6pak | hostPlatform is the host that will run the package | 01:01:04 |
| 6pak | buildPlatform is the host that is building the package | 01:01:17 |
| 6pak | targetPlatform is a special thing for target-specific packages, like the GCC compiler | 01:01:43 |
