Introduction

If you used Void Linux for some amount of time you probably ran into these types of errors when updating packages:

foo-1.0.0_1: broken, unresolvable shlib 'libbar.so.2'

Introduction

On 2019-01-20, starting with this commit, the groundwork was laid for a new mechanism inside xbps-src that will prove to be immensely helpful in tackling new challenges like, cross compiling rust and GObject Introspection.

This small post will show all about how this site, which is hosted via GitHub Pages, and is for all intents and purposes a blog, is done.

Hopefully this post can also be of help to users that want a similar setup.

Without further ado.

After fixing the problem discussed in part 1. Another bug was hit.

Last week i have been working on getting a particularly complex beast to be cross-compilable under Void Linux's xbps-src: GObject Introspection.

While work was done on xbps-src cross compilation of CPython3 modules, 2 problems were found.
