Nice. This fixed my issue. My pure environment is not so pure because I'm having issues with bashrc and bash_profile at the moment (bash_profile isn't respecting some of my files which provide all the bash things I have), but it worked. > and it works fine, bootstrapping too (via ./bootstrap - which invokes > autoreconf). > > I mean I guess your ad-hoc-everything way should be possible, but why would > you do that? Well I only started using the guix environment subcommands recently and I am experimenting. --ad-hoc seemed logical to me, but as we use pure with guix, it already provides everything guix needs. So no reason to use adhoc. It makes the setup flaky should the guix package ever change its inputs (I don't know whether it did in fact do that). > > I do sometimes specify extra ad-hoc packages, like so: > > $ guix environment --fallback --pure guix --ad-hoc guile-ncurses-with-gpm > > The order of the arguments is sometimes important.
