gobject-introspection: fix cross-compilation#166199
Closed
Conversation
Currently pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.gobject-introspection does not build due to breakage in (a) generating the docs and (b) generating the introspection data. There really isn't proper support in gobject-introspection for cross-compiles with -Dintrospection=true, just a collection of hacks in meson_options.txt that are rumored to be useful somehow. I have not been able to find any reports of people actually getting this to work. Let's disable the docs and introspection data for cross-compiles, since a build without docs or introspection is still very useful, and definitely more useful than no build at all.

And, gobject-introspection is not really designed to be used in cross compilations, in short, even if it build, we can not build packages that depends on it. Then what's the point of fixing it in the first place? |

We can. I am about to submit the patch that makes gtk3 cross-compile. Stay tuned. It's worth it. |

Some previous work on cross compiling gtk3 is at #148618, hope it helps. |
