<davexunit>could anyone help me with a pulseaudio issue?

<davexunit> https://www.refheap.com/19821

<davexunit>guix build pulseaudio fails

<davexunit>why wouldn't I have shm_open() ?

<mark_weaver>davexunit: in guix, builds run in a chroot and a private namespace (e.g. without networking, and with its own private set of process IDs, etc). maybe that's breaking shm_open somehow.

<davexunit>I guess I'm curious as to how someone got this package in if the tests fail?

<mark_weaver>ah, good question.

<mark_weaver>presumably it originally worked.

<mark_weaver>but maybe some other things have been upgraded since then, and now it doesn't pass anymore.. or perhaps some impurities leaked into the build process, e.g. having to do with your kernel configuration or something.

<mark_weaver>davexunit: can you send a bug report to bug-guix@gnu.org?

<davexunit>sure.

<mark_weaver>thanks!

<davexunit>I have an SDL package that is building, minus the pulse support.

<davexunit>though I guess pulseaudio is an optional dependency?

<davexunit>I've been going off of this nix pkg https://github.com/nbp/Nixpkgs/blob/a337eb4a033b7308b8a0a39b4b299af3737bd621/pkgs/development/libraries/SDL/default.nix

<mark_weaver>I'm juggling a 2.5-year-old at the moment, so my ability to read and write here are sporadic at best..

<gzg>mark_weaver: Overhand, or under?

<mark_weaver>hehe

<bavier>davexunit: I can reproduce your shm_open error

<bavier>There's a message later that seems related: "Failed to read /dev/shm/: No such file or directory"

<bavier>maybe /dev/shm isn't accessible in guix's build jail

<davexunit>bavier: oh I missed that. good find.

<davexunit>now how does one fix that?

<Steap>Did one of the latest commits trigger a massive rebuild of all packages ?

<gzg>mark_weaver: Overhand, or under?

<gzg>Woah, that was weird a weird hand twitch...

<gzg>I somehow alt-p and entered in like half-a second... :^I

<gzg>What I meant to ask, was what is considered a "guile development package"? I'm building my guile-xcb expression and I have guile-2.0 as an input -- but I'm getting "configure: checking for guile 2.2 configure: error: No Guile development packages were found.".

<gzg>Oh wow didn't notice ... the config file is looking for a future version of guile. :^I

<jxself>The config file is *from* the future, maybe?

<jxself>It would explain a great many things.

<gzg>jxself: Marty!

<jxself>Hehe. :)

<gzg>Well, the latest git pull builds on my local machine -- the stable release doesn't on either. :^/

<mark_weaver>gzg: yeah, the guile-xcb tarball has several problems. you'd best try the latest from git.

<mark_weaver>the problem with it looking for guile 2.2 is fixed in git.

<mark_weaver>and some other problems too

<mark_weaver>(needless to say, guile-xcb is quite new)

<gzg>mark_weaver: Very excited about the tech though and eventually possibly a wayland compositor and based toolkit may arise... :^)

<mark_weaver>yes, that would be nice to have!

<mark_weaver>have you looked at guile-figl?

*gzg will probably just wait till December and if v2 of both aren't released, I'll just end up bugging mwitmer about it. :^)

<gzg>mark_weaver: Yeah, I actually have -- that with guile-sdl (assuming they ever go to the 2.x branch), I'm looking very much forward to the way the tech on this side is advancing.

<gzg>I was thinking of having my go at a tabletop interface with guile-figl and guile-sdl at some point. :^)

<mark_weaver>sounds great!

<civodul>Hello Guix!

<gzg>civodul: o/

<viric>3ep

<civodul>howdy!

<a_e>Hello!

<civodul>i restarted the queue-runner on hydra, but now another problem

<a_e>What is the problem?

<civodul>ok, seems to be at work now: http://hydra.gnu.org/status

<civodul>a_e: missing Perl dependency

<civodul>it's ridiculous: we install pretty much everything by hand on that machine
