Hello everyone,

In current master (72e2815d18ad688b0a16ce3b3efba1172423cec4)
cross-compilation doesn't work.
Running `guix build --target=i586-pc-gnu -c8 bootstrap-tarballs' or
running `guix build --target=i686-linux-gnu -c8 bootstrap-tarballs'
fail with

phase `set-paths' succeeded after 0.0 seconds
starting phase `install-locale'
warning: failed to install 'en_US.utf8' locale: Invalid argument
phase `install-locale' succeeded after 0.0 seconds
starting phase `unpack'
In execvp of tar: No such file or directory
phase `unpack' failed after 0.0 seconds

http://paste.lisp.org/display/354383

The problem appeared both in master and core-updates before today's
merge. I think the last time I checked if cross-compilation works, must
have been in early July. I am looking for the last working commit.

Manolis

I think that’s an overstatement.  :-)

^ followed by:

builder for `/gnu/store/x3i6zasfc97zrwr4c9lj73mh14x5rdwd-make-boot0-4.2.1.drv' failed with exit code 1

This to me suggests a bug in how grafts are applied in a
cross-compilation context: we shouldn’t be trying to cross-compile
‘make-boot0’ in the first place.  I’m pretty sure passing --no-grafts
avoids the problem (but remember it disables some of the security
updates!).  Can you confirm?

(This was reported before, but apparently not on bug-guix.)

That can be useful too.

Thanks for the report,
Ludo’.

Have you been able to confirm this?

I just wanted to do this on darnassus, but guix-daemon is not running
there, and I cannot seem to get it to build software as a user, because
obviously I cannot write to /gnu/store.

Could you give me a hint how to run guix on Darnassus?

While disabling grafts does solve some of the issue, it's still not able
to cross-build everything and I didn't have time to look at it.

I could start the guix-daemon in darnassus for you to work on, by just
building guix as a user and using ./pre-inst-env, but I am afraid it
will create problems to darnassus. And Richard is using it for testing
things on the Hurd.

May I suggest giving you access to a local Hurd machine I have here so
you can hack as much as you want without worrying about side effects?

Manolis

thanks, that’s a very kind offer.  I’d appreciate it.
Attached is my SSH public key.
