bug#33330: Hurd failing to build

[Brett Gilio]

Hi all,

I know that the hurd is not supported on Guix at the moment. I was
trying to give it a try in spite of that, and it is failing to build.

I am sure that this is a known issue, but I could not find any
referencing issues of recent on debbugs.

Hello Brett,

I imagine you run `guix build hurd`?

Can you share the build log?

Thank you,
Manolis

I didn't know there was always a build log...cool.  That might help me
spot some of the compiler errors.

Obviously the notable error is that the host distribution is running on
the linux kernel, but if I remember correctly part of the tactic of
implementing hurd was the ability to cross-compile the hurd using linux
as a preliminary bootstrap? Maybe i'm completely wrong.

To put it differently, the Hurd cannot be built natively on GNU/Linux.
You can cross-build the Hurd from GNU/Linux with something like:

  guix build hurd --target=i586-pc-gnu

… though I seem to remember even that is broken in current master.

I’ve taken care of that on ‘core-updates’, which will hopefully be
merged within a week or so:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates&id=2d546858b139e5fcf2cbdf9958a17fd98803ac4c

On that branch, you can run, say:

  guix build sed --target=i586-pc-gnu

and you get a GNU/Hurd binary.  \o/
