| emily | so what's actually happening here is, it's installing an AM_ICONV that works, correctly | 16:45:52 |
| emily | but the configure.ac is just not picking up iconv.m4 from there?! | 16:46:10 |
| emily | well, whatever. kind of a mess :) | 16:46:27 |
| emily | but it at least doesn't seem like "sky is falling, anything using autotools will never accept Darwin libiconv" levels of bad. just "sometimes a configure.ac is organized in a way that means autoreconf doesn't quite do the right thing out of the box and it's an upstream issue when that's the case" | 16:47:41 |
| emily | the race condition is meant to be solved in the latest versions of both Lix and Nix to my knowledge | 16:48:04 |
 spewdins | exciting. I've had that disabled in my config for years | 16:49:16 |

| spewdins | nixpkgs's zsh 5.9 takes a very long time (or just straight up hangs) when I try using nixpkgs zsh on macOS | 01:10:46 |
 samasaur | perhaps https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/513543 ? | 01:11:22 |
| spewdins | seems about right | 01:11:51 |

 mall0c | wow there’s already a fix for zsh issue, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513971 | 11:48:43 |

| EmilioAK | I've installed fish, but for some reason there seems to be a path issue only in fish. sudo darwin-rebuild doesn't work while sudo /run/current-system/sw/bin/darwin-rebuild does, though this issue isn't present in zsh. What could be the cause of this? | 16:11:16 |
| samasaur | set programs.fish.enable = true in your nix-darwin and home-manager config | 16:12:14 |
| samasaur | (whichever applicable) | 16:12:27 |
| samasaur | bash and zsh default to enabled but fish does not | 16:12:51 |
| EmilioAK | That was already set for me. Also relevant is that I activate fish though ghostty, I haven't set it as my default shell | 16:13:45 |
| samasaur | if you aren't using either then I'm not sure | 16:13:46 |
| samasaur | oh huh | 16:13:57 |
| EmilioAK | I mean you shouldn't set fish as the default right? Since it's not posix compliant I mean? | 16:14:16 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I set it as the default shell. POSIX scripts that care use /bin/sh or /bin/bash (or the appropriate store paths). | 16:15:45 |
| Randy Eckenrode | * I set it as the default shell. Scripts use /bin/sh or /bin/bash (or the appropriate store paths). | 16:15:56 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Something that does whatever with $SHELL may have trouble, but things I care about know about Fish. | 16:16:20 |
| EmilioAK | My dotfiles are here in case anyone wants to look https://github.com/EmilioAK/dotfiles | 16:17:28 |
| EmilioAK | I'll also note that I installed fish though homebrew here, but since I did set these it should still inject the correct path no?
programs.fish.enable = true;
programs.fish.useBabelfish = true;
| 16:18:25 |
 insipx | check what which fish returns. i've had issues in the past of using homebrew paths when nix should have been usedf. | 16:20:10 |
