 Randy Eckenrode | I wonder if I can do something hacky to swift-toolchain-sqlite to make it devendor sqlite. 🤔 | 12:44:26 |
 vcunat | Ever seen something like this?

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
This wrapper stuff is auto-generated by buildPythonPackage and it does work on linux.
| 13:24:41 |
| vcunat | (except for a tiny non-python patch changing this hash, it's all just nixpkgs master) | 13:27:22 |
| vcunat | Oh, does macOS behave different than Linux around executing scripts? 🤔 | 13:28:36 |
| vcunat | i.e. maybe it's syntax error because a wrong interpreter is used? | 13:29:33 |
 K900 | That's a Python syntax error | 13:29:55 |
| K900 | In a script with clearly bash syntax | 13:30:00 |
| K900 | So something is trying to call python <bash script> | 13:30:12 |
| vcunat | Hmm, thanks. I think this moves me in a hopeful direction. | 13:32:28 |
| vcunat | I see. It's an unexpected interaction of nix-specific wrapping machinery with OS-specific piece of code from upstream. | 13:47:44 |
| vcunat | (when the script attempts to reexecute itself) | 13:48:07 |
 emily | shebangs don't work with shell wrappers on macOS | 15:57:16 |
| emily | i.e. if #!/nix/store/foo, then foo must be a makeBinaryWrapper rather than a shell wrapper | 15:57:28 |
| emily | perhaps something around that | 15:57:34 |
|  @thetaoofsu:matrix.org left the room. | 18:54:47 |

| Randy Eckenrode | I managed a stack overflow without triggering an infinite recursion. 🤔 | 19:01:50 |
 toonn | That's what we call sharpshooting : D | 19:10:11 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I think the problem is how I was trying to set up the Swift bootstrap. Because I already have a scope, I do overrideScope in the scope definition to declare a bootstrap version of the scope. I defined swift-bootstrap in the real scope as bootstrapSwiftPackages.swift, which uses swift-bootstrap to compile swiftc. | 19:12:13 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Fortunately, I found a way around it. Once I have SwiftPM not causing an infinite recursion, I’ll share the scope. | 19:19:56 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Also, llvm-install-name-tool supports -delete_all_rpaths, which the cctools one does not. That’s pretty handy. | 19:20:30 |
| Randy Eckenrode | (I tried making LLVM bintools the default for building Swift, but there is some work that needs to be done to make LLD actually work as a default linker on Darwin. The wrapper is not set up for it.) | 19:21:06 |

| Randy Eckenrode | My current status is I’m working through dependencies trying to build them how Apple distributes Swift (e.g., llbuild as a framework, etc). | 04:21:28 |
 WeetHet | I wonder if iTerm would be buildable from source after the swift work is done | 13:55:49 |
| WeetHet | And if people would even want it to be since that would mess the privileges on each update | 13:56:12 |

| Randy Eckenrode | We stopped building it because it relies on entitlements for security. | 13:56:56 |
