Hurd failing to build

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.

Hello Brett,

Brett Gilio <brettg@posteo.net> skribis:

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.

Hi Manolis & Brett,

Manolis Ragkousis <manolis837@gmail.com> skribis:

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/
