:elliot: Gonna hack that gibson.
:elliotthinking: barrier is clunky but when it works, it's beautiful.
:mycomputer: It's not installed.
:elliot: Okay, install it.
:mycomputer: libdaemon.
:elliotthinking: What the fuck do you even need that for?
:mycomputer: ...
:elliotthinking: Well?
:mycomputer: ...avahi.
:elliot: Fine, whatever. Where's the source for libdaemon?
:duckduckgo: I have no fucking clue.
:elliotthinking: Debian. Debian ships this horrorshow and they will have the source.
:duckduckgo: I'll show you https://packages.debian.org/sid/riscv64/libdaemon-doc and you can just kinda click around until you find what you want.
:debian: libdaemon-dev0.
:elliotsmile: Hilarious. Where did it come from?
:netscape: ...I don't wanna say. It's the website named after a thing that makes processes crash.
:elliotmanic2: Just tell me.
:debian: ...0pointer...dot de...
:elliotmad: Look, he can't have written only bullshit. He must have made a good program some time.
:netscape: "libdaemon just abstracts the goddamn fork()/chdir()/fork() dance. It's useless. It's a purely masturbatory dependency. It was probably copied and pasted from the bottom of a man page. The latest release is from 2009. None of this fluoride builds without avahi and avahi relies on a library that gets no updates."
:elliot: Whatever. It probably doesn't need one. The daemonization dance has not changed since the 90s.
:mycomputer: It won't build.
:elliotthinking: Why not?
:mycomputer: It says I'm not a recognized architecture.
:elliotmanic: Stupid fucking...what is the point of any of this if autotools won't build except if the OS/CPU combination is on a whitelist?
:mycomputer: How do I compile this program?
:elliotsmile: That's easy, it's just the stupid config.sub thing. You just drop in a new one. That's probably what Debian's doing anyway, they have a RISC-V build of this.
:mycomputer: I made libdaemon!
:elliot: Okay, install barrier.
:mycomputer: No. Now I refuse to install avahi.
:elliotmanic: Why?
:mycomputer: Because of the--
:elliotfurious: GODTDAMN AF FUCKING FUCK IT MAKES DNS QUERIES WHY IS IT SUCH A SHIT LIBRARY I DON'T NEED IT
:mycomputer: Do you think Lennart would--
:elliotmad: BUILD JUST `barrierc` AND `barriers` THOSE DO NOT EVEN LINK AGAINST ANY OF THAT SHIT
:mycomputer; Do you want to placate cmake?
:elliotdead:
