Hi guix!
Lately I've been trying to package some FOSS FPGA toolkit stuff for
guix,
and as a dependency of a dependency I ran into python-boost
https://github.com/boostorg/python/,
which uses the "faber" build system.
Since this build system is not supported by guix (or any other distro as
far as I can tell),
I went on to try to and add support for faber to guix.
My work in progress can be found at
https://gitlab.com/pinoaffe/guix_fork/tree/fpga,
along with the sole package I've been able to find that makes use of the
build system
and with nextpnr, which depends on python-boost.
So far I've been unable to get boost-python to work in order to build
nextpnr,
so it'd be great if some more experienced guix geeks would take a look
at my code
and at what is going wrong.
Thanks in advance,
pinoaffe
