Hi,

meson build-system has no cross-compilation support.

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --target=arm-linux-gnuhf gobject-introspection
guix build: error: /home/dannym/src/guix-master/guix/gnu/packages/glib.scm:419:2: gobject-introspection <at> 1.62.0: build system `meson' does not support cross builds

I need that for debugging https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi/issues/96 .

It would be really good if we had support for meson cross-builds.

Hi,

In the current version of guix, meson supports cross builds!

Closing.
