 cujanovic.filip | Why is the aerospace service not reading the default config file but instead is creating a new one inside the nix store? | 17:01:38 |
 Ihar Hrachyshka | @emilazy:matrix.org: yes, coreutils cp / tar were taking a long time to copy into store; but I later found had some general issues with the builder (it was hanging / crashing even without builds) so I decided to upgrade to 26 and hope it magically fixes it. So far no issues after the upgrade, but who knows... | 17:50:46 |

 niklaskorz | nixpkgs documentation suggests libiconv is included in the Linux stdenv and only needs to be added explicitly for darwin builds, but cross compiling for Linux on a Darwin build machine has iconv missing. Is that expected behavior? | 17:33:12 |
| niklaskorz |
| 17:34:04 |
| niklaskorz | Hm, it's also missing if I explicitly add iconv to buildInputs, so I guess it's something else | 17:35:13 |

 Randy Eckenrode | Darwin stdenv also includes libiconv (via the SDK). The documentation may need updating. | 17:44:50 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Is it one of those cross-stdenv is fubar like with GHC things? | 17:45:29 |
 emily | likely it wants to link against iconv on the build platform | 18:42:06 |
| emily | perhaps we fail to propagate the SDK deps for depsBuildBuild? | 18:42:22 |
| emily | it seems like we only ever do | 18:43:10 |
| emily | and | 18:43:11 |
| emily | | 18:43:12 |
| emily | I think we need to add apple-sdk to extraNativeBuildInputs in the native Darwin stdenv – then the cross one will pick it up. | 18:43:29 |

| niklaskorz | Wil give that a try later today, thanks for the pointer! | 07:57:45 |

 samasaur | huh | 01:07:55 |
| samasaur | I wonder why CMake (apparently) doesn't pick up the min version properly from the stdenv | 01:10:27 |
| emily | it sounds like the project might be setting a deployment target in its own CMake files | 01:12:45 |
| mio | yes. I found it in cmake files | 01:14:19 |
| emily | might want to try just patching out that line | 01:14:33 |
