Hello fellow Guix hackers, recently I just gave the powerpc64le-linux thing another try, as I'm missing Guix to much on my main machine (POWER9)...
Work is happening on a personal branch. It still in a WIP state and force-pushing can occur: https://gitlab.com/jonsger/Guix/tree/wip-master-powerpc64le As a first step we need the bootstrap-binaries for powerpc64le. This became pretty simple now. Apply gnu: Let cross-gcc-arguments built for powerpc64le. on a x86_64 system and run: ./pre-inst-env guix build --target=powerpc64le-linux-gnu bootstrap-binaries I uploaded the resulting tarballs to my private web server. They can be found here: http://brielmaier.net/guix/bootstrap/powerpc64le-linux/ On a powerpc64le system you need one commit, in order to get guix building from the git repo: WIP: gnu: Add bootstrap-binaries for 'powerpc64le-linux'. When this succeeds you should be able to build packages. At the moment `./pre-inst-env guix build hello` fails while building gcc-cross-boot0-7.4.0. See the gcc-cross-boot0-7.4.0-buildlog.bz2 attachment. Because of that, one is not able to install any packages yet, but commands like `guix search` or `guix show` already working like a charm :) So I wonder if we could already bring some of those commits to master or core-updates :P That's it for now Jonathan
