@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan RossThis does some very weird things like statically link nix12:12:10
@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan Ross(Yes nix, like libnix-flake-c and the various other libs)12:12:27
@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan RossLinux mostly works, aside from flakiness in the program's behavior12:13:03
@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan Ross Hmm, this might've been caused by a skill issue lol. I had to override other flags so it might've been using pkgs.pkgsBuildBuild.stdenv.cc. 12:21:51
@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan RossStatically linking Rust for 3 platforms is a bit of a pain12:22:22
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeOverriding the stdenv used by Rust is extremely annoying. It was one of the motivating reasons for how the new SDK pattern ended up as it did.12:48:58
@rosscomputerguy:matrix.orgTristan RossYeah, I'm using crane so it's at least easier to deal with some of these things12:50:02
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan changed their display name from matthewcroughan to matthewcroughan @fosdem.13:32:15

Austin Horstman: in my local run, the biggest gap between messages in firefox build is:

[2026-01-29 22:40:51] firefox-unwrapped> make[3]: Leaving directory '/nix/var/nix/builds/nix-84991-1567875916/firefox-147.0.2/objdir/media/ffvpx/libavcodec'
[2026-01-29 23:22:13] firefox-unwrapped> /nix/var/nix/builds/nix-84991-1567875916/mozbuild/srcdirs/firefox-147.0.2-a7aea0efcd6d/_virtualenvs/build/bin/python -m mozbuild.action.check_binary ../../../dist/bin/XUL

42 minutes of silence :)

@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkaand this is right after "libavcodec" (we saw it as last message in some timed out runs)23:46:46
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkabrb adding a background noise generator that would print silly jokes once every 5 mins while firefox is doing lto...23:47:53
