<muurkha>stikonas: thanks! I'm surprised you can't compile musl without pthreads

<luke-jr>any hints on compiling a mes that actually works (without guix)?

<stikonas>luke-jr: which arch do you need?

<stikonas>mes works best on x86... There is work in progress on other arches especially riscv64

<stikonas>but basically you just need to set a few env variables

<stikonas>and also make sure you have the correct version of nyacc

<stikonas>(if you want to use mescc)

<stikonas>in particular GUILE_LOAD_PATH is essential

<luke-jr>stikonas: static x86-64 (or I guess -32)

<stikonas>well, that kaem file is basically step by step instruction

<stikonas>starting from M2-Planet

<luke-jr>can't use GCC? :P

<stikonas>then just run configure.sh

<stikonas>you still need stuff like nyacc in GUILE_LOAD_PATH

<stikonas>it works on my Gentoo system...

<luke-jr>maybe part of my issue is that I'm trying to build the version desired by Guix 1.4

<luke-jr>eg had to hack in -fcommon

<luke-jr>h01ger: I don't run foreign binaries

<stikonas>which is why building it with hex0 and eventually M2-Planet is best if you don't run foreign binaries

<stikonas>and then you rebuild it with mescc

<h01ger>luke-jr: my point was to tell you that compiling mes works on !guix

<luke-jr>stikonas: that kaem file seems to assume mes is already installed? :/

<stikonas>not really, it does assume some file system layout though

<stikonas>it unpacks mes tarball

<stikonas>then executes built-in kaem script that mes ships

<stikonas>(that uses M2-Planet to compile mes-m2 binary)

<stikonas>and then rebuilds mes
