<civodul>good night/day!
<ph4n70m4s>going to bed as well because i have an early lesson
<ph4n70m4s>see ya tomorrow morning
<ph4n70m4s>send an email tou guix devel ang bug-hurd with my intentions
<ph4n70m4s>sent*
<ph4n70m4s>just came back from the university, had lessons till now...
<rigelk>welcome back ph4n70m4s :) same here.
<ph4n70m4s>mark_weaver: after I finish copying everythin in the libpthread folder I need to call autoreconf in there
<ph4n70m4s> so in the unpack phase, after the (copy-rec...) I added (system* "autoreconf" "-vi" "libpthread")
<ph4n70m4s>which is the folder I previously copied everything
<ph4n70m4s>but I am getting "In execvp of autoreconf: No such file or directory"
<ph4n70m4s>which I should because the folder exists
<ph4n70m4s>I shouldn't
<bavier```>ph4n70m4s: do you have autoconf as an input?
<mark_weaver>yeah, autoconf is not normally needed (since guix normally works with tarball releases), and is not included in the inputs by default.
<mark_weaver>(it should be a native-input, btw)
<bavier```>might also consider using 'autoconf-wrapper'
<mark_weaver>also, I don't think this should be in the unpack phase. you should make a new phase.
<ph4n70m4s>ok
<mark_weaver>I confess I don't know what autoconf-wrapper does, but indeed, you should take a look and maybe that's the thing to use here.
<mark_weaver>I've never used autoconf in a recipe, so I don't know.
<mark_weaver>ah yes, it looks like you should use autoconf-wrapper, indeed.
<mark_weaver>see the comment in its definition in autotools.scm
<ph4n70m4s>I am getting an error for not founding aclocal, looking into that
<ph4n70m4s>autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory
<civodul>ph4n70m4s: you need to install Automake
<ph4n70m4s>all would be so easier if we had tarballs...
<civodul>yep
<civodul>we'll get them, eventually ;-)
<ph4n70m4s>we could send some ghosts to haunt the hurd guys till we get them :P
<ph4n70m4s>just kidding :P
<civodul>i bet they can read us :-)
<ph4n70m4s>:-)
<ph4n70m4s>need to pull the new updates eventually
<ph4n70m4s>maybe I can simplify the patch part
<ph4n70m4s>in my recipe
