+@defvr {Scheme Variable} glib-or-gtk-build-system
+This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system glib-or-gtk)}. It
+is intended for use with packages making use of
+@url{https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable, glib} or
+@url{https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable, gtk+}.
+
+This build-system adds the following two phases to the ones defined by
+the @code{gnu-build-system}:
+
+@table @code
+@item glib-or-gtk-wrap
+The phase @code{glib-or-gtk-wrap} ensures that programs found under
+@file{bin/} are able to find @code{glib} schemas and @code{gtk+}
+libraries. This is achieved by appropriately setting the environment
+variables @code{XDG_DATA_DIRS} and @code{GTK_PATH}; and by wrapping the
+programs in suitable launch scripts.
+
+@item glib-or-gtk-compile-schemas
+The phase @code{glib-or-gtk-compile-schemas} makes sure that all
+@code{glib} schemas are compiled. Compilation is performed by the
+program @code{glib-compile-schemas}. It is provided by the package
+@code{glib:bin} which is automatically imported by the build system.
+The @code{glib} package providing @code{glib-compile-schemas} can be
+specified with the @code{#:glib} parameter.
+@end table
+
+Both phases are executed after the @code{install} phase.

This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system python)}. It
implements the more or less standard build procedure used by Python
