| dramforever | sweet, sweet nixos with a custom rust target json | 04:50:19 |
| dramforever | the necessary rustcTarget madness fixes are here but i think i might have mucked with crossPlatform.rust.* a bit too much so holding off on a pr https://github.com/dramforever/nixpkgs/tree/rustcTarget-madness | 04:51:42 |

 benmkw | Hi, i am trying to get a minimal mainline linux build working on https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_3 and currently i cannot get it do do anything, cant check uart, but no led/ no hdmi output, the config is very minimal and it seems upstream support in nix is decent so maybe its sth. easy to spot? https://paste.rs/v3kWt.txt thanks :) (the board work with dietpi so i can rule out a hardware issue) | 11:24:52 |
| dramforever | aarch64 is not exotic :P try #nixos-on-arm:nixos.org | 11:28:20 |
| benmkw | Haha that sounds promising, will do 👍 | 11:33:19 |

 j-k | Well, I wondered why I had to do so many rebuilds. Turns out the prebuilt sdcard image for visionfive v2 doesn't have the 2 suggested riscv caches configured. Not sure why it took me this long to think about checking (and replacing) /etc/nix/nix.conf
going much quicker now | 19:30:35 |

| Marie | Hi, I'm trying to get a cross compiler for 32-Bit PowerPC, has anyone had luck in getting that to work?
I've tried nix-build --expr '(import ./. { crossSystem.config = "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"; }).stdenv.cc.cc.libgcc.stdenv.cc.cc'
(./. being a nixpkgs checkout)
But that build fails with a linker error which I don't really understand. | 13:55:49 |
| Marie | Download log.txt | 13:55:49 |
 Alyssa Ross | That looks like possibly a GCC internal problem? I'd see if it can be reproduced outside Nix to confirm. | 14:07:44 |
| Marie | So I tried to build gcc with our flags outside of nix, which resulted in
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory
/home/marie/arch-build/compiler/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory
When I apply the same hack as we do here (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/dbfdaa1a1cef034a790d0287bdd885ee78ecb11c/pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/common/libgcc-buildstuff.nix#L6-L37), it results in the same error.
I was also to reproduce the same thing in a podman container running arch linux. | 18:38:21 |
 K900 | Yeah not going to happen, you need cc-wrapper for this | 18:38:44 |
| Marie | you mean to compile gcc? | 18:40:46 |
