bug#45618: development childhurd fails to build: glib@2.62.6: build system `meson'
Hi Ludo, that is not a fix. A workaround maybe. If possible, I'd like the actual fix to be to make the meson build system support cross compilation. According to https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html : >Meson has full support for cross compilation. [...] >meson builddir/ --cross-file x86-linux Also, for the record, I find it a bad idea to switch packages from gnu-build-system to meson-build-system when the package in question supports building itself with either, as long as meson-build-system doesn't support cross-compilation. pgpfFTXmblrdP.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

For the archives, find an updated devel-hurd.tmpl attached that removes guile-avahi.

bug#45618: development childhurd fails to build: glib@2.62.6: build system `meson'
Hi, We have been using the attached devel-hurd.tmpl (see attched) to add a childhurd service that has a development environment. On current master 395489cdc959c3f3c026bf545c3ed95efc9919f0 gnu: spice-vdagent: Update to 0.20.0. building ./pre-inst-env guix system disk-image --target=i586-pc-gnu gnu/system/examples/devel-hurd.tmpl fail with --8<---cut here---start->8--- guix system: error: gnu/packages/glib.scm:181:2: glib@2.62.6: build system `meson' does not support cross builds --8<---cut here---end--->8--- I guess we are missing a (some?) tests for the Hurd. Anyway, I started a bisecting round last night and it found --8<---cut here---start->8--- 1b0cda6b44 gnu: qemu: Extend I/O test time-outs. --8<---cut here---end--->8--- which was an honest debugging leftover, fixed promptly in --8<---cut here---start->8--- b070e3f810 gnu: qemu: Remove left-over debugging statement. --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Luckily, this fixed commit also builds the childhurd again...so I'm starting a new bisect. This is not funny; it means I either cannot reconfigure, or I'm losing my childhurd...grmbl. Sorry for not noticing this earlier!
