Hello
I am worried about the build-system of the GNU Guix package management
system and the resolution of package dependencies. Please help if you like.
I wanted to use the GNU Guix package management system to create a
private channel for Common Lisp ASDF packages.
I am working while checking "gnu/packages/lisp-xyz.scm".
In lisp-xyz.scm, define the package for SBCL, and then add the ECL build
package and source package to Is defined as
;; for SBCL
(define-public sbcl-package-name
...
(inputs
`((" package-name-a ", sbcl-package-name-a)
("package-name-b", sbcl-package-name-b)))
(build-system asdf-build-system / sbcl)
...)
;; for Source
(define-public cl-package-name
(sbcl-package-> cl-source-package sbcl-package-name))
;; for ECL
(define-public ecl-package-name
(sbcl-package-> ecl-package sbcl-package-name))
To make such a definition, "guix package -i cl-package-name" will
install the dependent "package-name-a" and "package-name-b" at the same
time. You can find it under $GUIX_PROFILE/share/common-lisp/source.
However, I simply wanted to define a package to install the source, and
defined the package using "asdf-build-system/source" as follows:
(define-public cl-package-name
...
(inputs
`((" package-name-a ", cl-package-name-a)
("package-name-b", cl-package-name-b)))
(build-system asdf-build-system / source)
...)
When this definition is made and "guix package -i cl-package-name" is
executed, the dependent package specified in "inputs" will not be
installed. (Dependent packages are also installed in
asdf-build-system/source. It is executed after rewriting to the
definition used)
Is there a way to automatically install dependent(inputs) packages when
using "asdf-build-system/source"?
Best regards,
NOEU
