Hi i’m trying to cross-compile and when i try to enter the shell i get this error

error: assertion '((stdenv).targetPlatform != (stdenv).hostPlatform)' failed

        let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; in
        {
          devShells.default = import ./shell.nix { inherit pkgs; };
        }
      );
}

shell:

{ pkgs }:

with pkgs;

pkgsCross.armhf-embedded.mkShell {

  nativeBuildInputs = [
    bison
    flex
    swig
    nixfmt
    python311
    python311Packages.setuptools
    gnumake
    glibcCross
  ];

  buildInputs = [
    gcc
  ];
}

Should i open an issue?

For cross compiling you want to follow a proper callPackage idiom to use a properly spliced set.
