Decisions about how components of the Swift toolchain itself are built and distributed fall outside the workgroup’s charter.

 samasaur | hmm | 00:22:47 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It seems like this is about build system integration and how to help them with things like dependency resolution? | 00:23:07 |
| samasaur | so (if helpful at all) would be more helpful for your swift package set work, perhaps? | 00:23:24 |
| samasaur | i wonder if there is a working group for packaging the toolchain itself | 00:23:37 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Maybe, but the way Nix does things is an impediment. | 00:29:09 |

Encourage development of Swift integrations in existing build and packaging systems that are outside of the Swift project (e.g. CMake, Bazel)
this is really cool to see :^) | 00:30:54 |
| Katalin 🔪 | especially since I'm working on making Swift support in Meson better | 00:32:08 |
| Katalin 🔪 | but also just in general | 00:32:15 |
 niklaskorz | so I'm still not sure if that either just doesn't work or I'm looking in the wrong place | 09:51:43 |

| niklaskorz | this doesn't fix the build issue unfortunately, same result as before | 09:52:04 |
| niklaskorz | also there generally is no way to pass RUSTFLAGS to the build script compilation it seems | 10:06:52 |
| niklaskorz | a PR in 2017 was rejected: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/4428 | 10:07:00 |
| niklaskorz |
The flag is not passed to all compiler instances: When cross-compiling (i.e., when --target is set), the flag is not passed to build scripts. It seems there is currently no way to pass anything to build scripts when --target is set, which clearly is a feature gap.
