 p14 | sorear: it would certainly provide more information to me about how well it functions if you want to try and build some other software with it. Feel free to ping me in DMs here (or comment on the PR) as well with any information you glean, though I can't promise to be of much help. | 13:54:08 |

(3) pkgsLLVM is probably low priority and too much to chew for me so at some point, you would have to consider stepping in as a maintainer if you want to see continued stability of that package set On this point Iβm happy to try and provide some input and testing; I have the capability to bisect to find issues and may be able to provide a small amount of personal effort to dig into issues to try and keep it working. | 15:12:27 |

| rhelmot | Hi! I'm trying to revive the FreeBSD nix/nixpkgs support. I've gotten as far as being able to compile moderately interesting packages with the bootstrap compiler (FreeBSD-native clang), but when I try to build gcc everything falls apart and I think it's me doing something wrong with the stdenv. Is this the right place to ask for help with that? | 05:55:34 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | oooh i want to help with that | 05:55:59 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | this seems like the right place to me | 05:56:07 |
| rhelmot | nice! Okay, I'll make what I have presentable and I can show it to you. | 05:56:31 |
| rhelmot | https://github.com/rhelmot/nixpkgs/compare/freebsd%7E%7E...rhelmot:nixpkgs:freebsd | 06:11:11 |
| rhelmot | The first commit is where I got as far as I could with the native compiler. the second commit is where I attempted to do the full bootstrap | 06:11:27 |
| rhelmot | if you're trying to run this yourself you'll need my patches for nix itself | 06:12:05 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | by the native compiler, do you mean like, compiling things natively in bsd, as in, not using the linux emulation layer ? | 06:12:08 |
| rhelmot | I have never installed the linux emulation layer | 06:12:25 |
| rhelmot | by native I mean "links against the system libraries" | 06:12:34 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | i thought it was part of freebsd by default | 06:12:38 |
| rhelmot | * by native I mean "links against the system libc" | 06:12:38 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | * i thought it was part of freebsd by default, whoops | 06:13:01 |
| rhelmot | it might be! but I'm doing freebsd mostly as a hobby so I might as well commit to the ecosystem | 06:14:06 |
| π@crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe | ah ok | 06:14:11 |
| rhelmot | it's been a few months since I touched this so I will need to do a fat rebase. I had been debugging one-on-one with a friend who is a nixos contributor but I think she deserves better than to be the sole recipient of my nonsense | 06:16:53 |
