I never had a problem :/ 19:07:05 or at least that was the assumption, it grew from that 19:07:24 sure, it could have been a faulty assumption 19:07:38 in any case I'm happy that this can use a simpler unified approach now 19:08:10 I guess someone should test it in the same environment that once had problems? 19:08:12 FWIW I also remember pkg-config horror with cross-compiles in the past, this became a lot better in recent times 19:08:24 ^^ what wumpus said. mingw+pkgconfig wasn't well supported when it was implemented. 19:08:36 I doubt that environment still exists, or is capable of building bitcoin core :) 19:08:42 wumpus: I thought half the point of pkg-config in the first place was to fix cross-compile stuff 19:09:14 ie, by having text files defining the requirements instead of custom qt-config type binaries 19:10:01 wumpus: well, MingW on Windows then? 19:10:12 in my case it was something with paths not getting set right in the text files 19:10:19 would be a shame to get locked into MSVC++ for native Windows builds 19:10:26 i c 19:10:28 luke-jr: a big part of the problem was that libs didn't bother trying to get the libs right for windows. Now they're better. 19:10:37 so it required an ugly level of patching, or, the target program supporting another way to pass in dependencies 19:10:45 in any case this was problably solved 5 years ago :) 19:11:03 it's no longer relevant and we can move on 19:11:13 does anyone have other topics to discuss? 19:11:27 wtxid relay got a BIP I saw 19:12:13 oh, and shaolinfry merged my PR to BIP 8, which fixes up some stuff and also enables a path forward for any other revisions we might want to make 19:12:25 good to hear that 19:12:29 BIP 339 is wtxid relay 19:12:33 (enables it because that PR added me as a co-champion) 19:13:37 anyway, short meeting is best meeting? 19:13:50 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0339.mediawiki 19:13:52 XD 19:13:55 yes :) 19:13:57 #endmeeting
