Re: Pinebook pro build

[Grant Wilson II]

Hi Leo,

Thanks for the help!
I did take a peek at the source but did not find that it helped me
understand or fix the error.
If I interpret the source correctly, "firmware" is being provided to the
package as a native input.
When I attempt the build without cross compiling then it does succeed...
`guix build -e "(@ (gnu packages bootloaders) u-boot-pinebook-pro-rk3399)"`

However that does defeat the purpose.

Why would the "firmware" native input not be available when targeting
aarch64-linux-gnu?

Or perhaps that is not the correct question to ask...
