<peanutbutterandc>How does one define a 'tuple' in guile?

<libfud>depending on what you want to do I think a list will probably suffice

<chrislck>or vector

<chrislck>or cons

<peanutbutterandc>it's for guix. packages->manifest

<peanutbutterandc>and it takes: 'package/string tuples denoting a specific output of a package'

<peanutbutterandc>i'll give cons and vectors a shot

<peanutbutterandc>list, sadly didn't suffice

<libfud>oh

<libfud>can you link to the page where you see that?

<libfud>it might be talking about a dotted pair

<peanutbutterandc>if you have guix installed, $ guix repl

<libfud>probably something like (cons 'package-name 'package-output) but I'm not sure what it means exactly

<libfud>I don't, it's something I've been meaning to try

<peanutbutterandc>..... oh.... hmmm... okay.... i'll try it out

<peanutbutterandc>It's been saying this:

<peanutbutterandc>guix/inferior.scm:352:18: In procedure inferior-package-field:

<peanutbutterandc>In procedure struct-vtable: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting struct): (glib . "doc")

<libfud>just throwing this out there, but there is a #guix channel on irc as well

<peanutbutterandc>libfud, Yes, somebody is answering there too. I asked here too because I'm running out of battery.

<peanutbutterandc>But thank you for your help (:

<libfud>np

<libfud>my guess for the wrong type argument is that you're passing the wrong argument into that tuple

<libfud>idk though

<peanutbutterandc>I'm a relative beginner so it must be some minor error on my part, yes. let's see...

<libfud>is there some guide you're following? I'm guessing you're trying to contribute a package

<peanutbutterandc>No, for now, I'm just trying to set up a dev env to learn some gtk. guix makes setting up dev envs a breeze. I think you'd love it too

<libfud>peanutbutterandc: it's been on my to-try list for a while but I'm swamped with work and I have another personal project i'm working on in the off-hours I have when I feel like programming

<libfud>also I prefer Qt to gtk

<peanutbutterandc>libfud, Hmmm.... I see. Perhaps once you do start using guix, you'd love how easy it is to set up a qt dev env using a mere `guix environment --ad-hoc qt and other packages here`
