 K900 | @outfoxxed gave a very quick look to the Qt6 cross PR | 05:35:33 |
| K900 | I think the core idea makes sense | 05:35:52 |
| K900 | I think there's a dumb typo in there | 05:35:52 |
 outfoxxed | ah where? | 05:36:05 |
| K900 | Commented | 05:36:12 |
| outfoxxed | did you submit the review, not showing up for me | 05:36:31 |
| K900 | Can't promise much more due to gestures at current events | 05:36:42 |
| K900 | Ah great github ate it I think | 05:37:38 |
| K900 | Anyway there's both __nix_qtbase_check and __nix_check_qtbase and I think those should be one thing? | 05:37:53 |
| K900 | Though I might be missing something and it is just a case of really questionable naming lol | 05:38:13 |
| outfoxxed | one of those is _cross i think | 05:38:45 |
| outfoxxed | not _check | 05:38:47 |
| outfoxxed | sec | 05:38:50 |
| K900 | No, they are both _check | 05:39:02 |
| outfoxxed | yep thats a typo | 05:39:30 |
| outfoxxed | were supposed to be the same thing | 05:39:37 |
| outfoxxed | I guess I'm building qt again today | 05:40:02 |
| K900 | Also I think I now have the context to explain what I was saying before about nativeBuildInputs | 05:40:28 |
| K900 | My idea was to instead of doing what you did and propagating host tools everywhere | 05:40:41 |
| K900 | To build a special "cross Qt" for (build -> target) | 05:41:09 |
| K900 | So we have tools for build and libraries for target in the same package | 05:41:19 |
| K900 | And then we just use those everywhere | 05:41:24 |
| K900 | Which works without cmake patching but does lead to funni in Canadian use cases but no one does that anyway | 05:42:02 |
| outfoxxed | I'm not sure what the advantage of that would be but I think that is an officially supported mode of operation | 05:42:10 |
| outfoxxed | honestly I'm not sure why I had to patch the cmake for this, it should work with a host build in one folder | 05:42:38 |
| K900 | That is the officially supported mode of operation | 05:42:39 |
| K900 | That's mostly the advantage yes | 05:42:39 |
| K900 | But seeing how small the cmake change is I think I like yours more | 05:42:42 |
| K900 | I really need to process it a bit more though | 05:42:59 |
| outfoxxed | Building from a full set of host tools is also supposed to work per the qt docs | 05:43:00 |
