Description

when i try to cross compile my project for windows it fails with a error message that i am to stupid to understand

the source code is available at https://gitlab.com/celleron56/NIMHCO but i doubt that matters it is either a bug (if someone can reproduce) or i am bad at nixOS

The cyclic dependency was due to nixos patches and was fixed in NixOS/nixpkgs#325792.

You will need to update the nixpkgs channel/flake you are pulling from.
