Re: Regarding implementing sof-firmware in GUIX.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Ry,

[PSA: It's just ‘[GNU] Guix’, never ‘GUIX’ :-)  I'm not sure why 
the ‘GUIX’ meme appears to be picking up steam again as of late…]

I tried to start a basic SOF package (attached), but quickly ran 
into ‘The GNU C library is currently unavailable for this 
platform.’  Without a cross-libc the build fails, looking for 
<stdint.h>, which AFAICT is provided (only) by libc.

I've never cross-compiled firmware before so I don't know any next 
steps.

Of course, this being ostensibly libre software, we could package 
prebuilt binaries[0] as I'm sure 99% of users actually use.  It's 
not a good option, and hardly Guixy, but not unprecedented.

Kind regards,

T G-R
