 rosssmyth | I've been doing some work toward cross-compiling for MSVC. Mainly because I have some software I build at work that I build for Linux and mingw, but MSVC would be preferable for interop with other software we have. Got some basic stuff going.
- Create essentially a fetcher for the SDK
- Download the SDK and fix it up
- Wrap clang-cl
- Wrap rustc
Can compile hello world. I've not tested it on anything more complicated yet.

 Greg Hellings | Hey y'all, cross-compiling pkgsCross.ucrtAarch64.stdenv.cc for Windows on Arm has been broken for about a month. A quick bisect points to commit 4f8431266ce9a84b5c524a310e931681b2d7db5a | 04:27:43 |
| Greg Hellings | Seems to make sense, as that change specifically creates a symlink between libunwind.so and libgcc_s.so files, which are notably absent in the ucrtAarch64 target, as it is a purely LLVM environment with no gcc present | 04:29:07 |
| Greg Hellings | Nope, looks like the problem is the file paths. Windows keeps its shared libraries under /bin/ with a .dll extension whereas on other platforms they tend to be .so files in /lib/ | 04:38:50 |

| Electro | Does anyone have a shell.nix that just works for cross compiling the linux kernel? Trying to do an arm64 build, but struggling getting things to work, since linux doesn't not expect LLVM tools to need something like the aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu- prefix that nix provides... | 16:57:58 |
 K900 | nix-shell -A pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.linux should work | 16:58:47 |
