 matthewcroughan | nativeBuildInputs also includes cups for some reason | 13:32:16 |
| matthewcroughan | and ofc gutenprint-bin doesn't work for any other platform than x86_64-linux | 13:34:05 |
| matthewcroughan | Once you get past some things, you end up with
gutenprint-aarch64-linux> make[3]: *** [Makefile:1581: cups_genppd_5.3-cups-genppd.o] Error 1
gutenprint-aarch64-linux> make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
gutenprint-aarch64-linux> genppd.c: In function 'gpputs':
gutenprint-aarch64-linux> genppd.c:163:19: error: passing argument 2 of 'fputs' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
| 13:34:30 |
| matthewcroughan | so it's like, gutenprint just ain't cut out for a raspberry pi zero lol | 13:34:37 |
| matthewcroughan | time to run raspbian in a container??? | 13:34:42 |
| matthewcroughan | or better yet.. maybe I run cups on a declarative aarch64 vm on armv6 | 13:38:31 |
| matthewcroughan | then again, you can't compile qemu anymore for armv6 💀 | 13:38:42 |
| matthewcroughan | how about an aarch64 nixos container, with binfmt on the host | 13:39:15 |

 Jon Hermansen | I finally did a write up and posted to Discourse about my own little Nix project. Thought I should share here https://discourse.nixos.org/t/darnix-toward-a-nix-os-on-a-darwin-kernel/77779 | 18:46:45 |
 Tristan Ross | lol, that's awesome. I've had that idea because there's NixBSD and XNU is public so why couldn't we have NixXNU | 18:58:08 |
| Jon Hermansen | It would be great if we could replace the Xcode dependency with upstream clang, which would make it buildable on Linux too. | 19:17:58 |
| Jon Hermansen changed their display name from jonhermansen to Jon Hermansen. | 19:18:47 |
| Tristan Ross | I was thinking about that too, it would require a bunch of code to change I think | 20:28:22 |
 r-burns | Anyone testing their exotic systems on current unstable? I think 26.05 is going to be cut early next week so now might be a good time for last-minute fixups before branchoff. | 20:39:13 |

 Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | Seems like the FreeBSD fixes were backported, native builds work in the current stable branch | 17:31:04 |

| matthewcroughan | Does anybody remember at all how to flash u-boot to the hifive premier p550? | 18:37:04 |
| matthewcroughan | I have completely failed to document that lol | 18:37:09 |
| matthewcroughan | Hmm, why might eswin dtbs not be installed into $out ? | 20:26:17 |
