Hi all,
I'm having issues using guix build. I'm suspecting some misconfiguration on
my end.
Since there are some stuff missing in guix that I use (i3blocks for
example) I thought I could try and create package definitions from them. I
haven't got my GuixSD working yet so I'm using guix running on Arch Linux.
I thought that it might be something wrong with my recipe I was writing. So
I tested to build the GNU Hello package from the manual (Defining Packages
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Packages.html#Defining-Packages>).
I copied it into a file called gnu/packages/hello.scm
After that I ran "guix build -L$(pwd) hello".
But I'm getting these errors:
> guix: offload: command not found
> Try `guix --help' for more information.
> guix build: error: build failed: unexpected EOF reading a line
>
Not sure why it complains about missing offload command. I haven't setup it
up but when running "guix offload test" it prints out:
> guix offload: testing 0 build machines defined in
> '/etc/guix/machines.scm'...
>
But that's not what's blocking my, instead it's the EOF error.
My first thought was that I must have missed a newline after the
(define-public hello ...). Turns out that wasn't the case. Any idea what I
have missed? I'm still a complete noob when it comes to guile so I'm not
sure how to debug/trace the error.
I've attached the hello.scm
Thanks.
