<handheldCar>Where is everybody? I've been struggling to build a package <jmd>Steap: That was yesterday. <Steap>jmd: you haven't been drinking enough, then :) <jmd>I've also been struggling to build gnucash - it's crazy the dependencies it has. <Steap>erf :/ Yeah, sometimes it seems endless <handheldCar>Does anyone want to help me get started? I could explain, or you could check the devel list for my progress (Kete). <Steap>handheldCar: I think you should try by being able to install one the already packaged pieces of software <handheldCar>I think I can if I understand you. I am typing this from Guix Emacs with Guix FreeType. <Steap>have you built those with the Git version of Guix ? <jmd>handheldCar: What exactly are you trying to do, and what have you managed to do so far? <handheldCar>I am trying to build Zsh. I wrote a zsh.scm package definition, used 'guix download' to get the archive+hash. That is where the manual stops. From the list, I was instructed to go to my build directory and run './pre-inst-env guix build <pkg>', but guix can't find the package. <jmd>What happens when you run make ? <handheldCar>In the guix directory or a zsh directory, it does the normal make file for configure. Is there something else? <jmd>In the guix build directory. <jmd>It should have created the zsh.go file. <jmd>You will need an entry in gnu-system.am <handheldCar>I need help with that whenever you or anyone gets a few minutes. I'm guessing I put the path to my zsh.scm file in gnu-system.am somehow somewhere. <jmd>Yes. Under GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES. Have you done that? <jmd>handheldCar: Are you still there? <jmd>Can you pastebin exactly the error message you are seeing. <handheldCar>one minute please. I need to go afk in a few minutes <jmd>handheldCar: Didn't I tell you to put it in gnu/packages <jmd>just look at the existing entries and copy one. <jmd>gnu/packages/zsh.scm <jmd>and try to keep the list in alphabetical order to make it easier for other developers. <handheldCar>ok, the path doesn't make sense, but I'll try it when I get back in a bit. <handheldCar>make[2]: *** No rule to make target `gnu/packages/zsh.scm', needed by `all-a m'. Stop.
