 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.
| 10:07:27 |
| niklaskorz | upstream issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4423 | 10:08:15 |
| niklaskorz | I feel like this is the actual cause of the issue we're seeing 😅 | 10:09:06 |
| niklaskorz | also from the cargo docs: | 10:13:44 |
| niklaskorz |
If the --target flag (or build.target) is used, then the flags will only be passed to the compiler for the target. Things being built for the host, such as build scripts or proc macros, will not receive the args. Without --target, the flags will be passed to all compiler invocations (including build scripts and proc macros) because dependencies are shared. If you have args that you do not want to pass to build scripts or proc macros and are building for the host, pass --target with the host triple.

 Randy Eckenrode | If you nix develop the failing drv, what does the environment look like? DEVELOPER_DIE_FOR_BUILD should be set. | 10:33:23 |
| Randy Eckenrode | * If you nix develop the failing drv, what does the environment look like? DEVELOPER_DIR_FOR_BUILD should be set. | 10:33:34 |
| niklaskorz | bash-5.3$ echo $DEVELOPER_DIR_FOR_BUILD/
/nix/store/ybygcq3s191f07bwgxbqpgqv0ak4h17k-apple-sdk-11.3/
| 10:36:46 |
| Randy Eckenrode | So it is getting set but not used. | 10:37:34 |
| Randy Eckenrode | And libiconv is in the appropriate deps packages list? | 10:39:22 |
| niklaskorz | yeah I tried both nativeBuildInputs as well as depsBuildBuild | 10:43:43 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I meant in the build environment. | 11:25:50 |
 emily | I would try adding this in the native stdenv instead perhaps | 15:07:41 |
| niklaskorz | did that too | 15:07:52 |
| niklaskorz | no change in behavior, alas | 15:08:02 |
| niklaskorz | (much recompiling for no seeming effect today^^) | 15:08:31 |

| niklaskorz | at least I now found out that rust has since added the ability to pass rustflags through the cargo config's [host] section | 15:09:59 |
| niklaskorz | so I'll try adding the library search path to libiconv there as a sanity check | 15:10:16 |

 antifuchs | can I ask that somebody with nix-darwin permissions review and ideally merge https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/pull/1431? it would help my dock configuration a lot if this went in (: | 16:51:19 |
| antifuchs | * (ooops, I should have asked in nix-darwin-dev) | 16:52:22 |
 winston | just hit a build failure on staging for cctools trying to get rust 1.91 to build on aarch64-darwin

| emily | was that just never tested? 🫠 | 20:28:47 |
| emily | you up for opening a fix PR? | 20:28:54 |
