Hello,
Here's an example:
Toggle snippet (6 lines)
$ guix build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu python-coverage
guix build: error: gnu/packages/check.scm:1997:2: python-coverage@5.2.1:
build system `python' does not support cross builds
Python byte compiled files are not architecture dependents, so nothing
is needed for them. In some cases where C extensions are used,
setuptools or PEP 517 python build systems handle this transparently.
So it seems like we should be able to support cross-compiling Python
packages easily, which can be useful when building images containing
Python packages for embedded systems via cross-compilation.
Thoughts?
