Sometime recently, the way Common Lisp code is compiled was changed (for the better, I think), and now my StumpWM contrib modules won't load. Here's why:
StumpWM looks[1] for .asd files to determine what is a module. Guix's Common Lisp build system used to combine an entire system into a single .fasl file and then produce a .asd file for loading it. Now -- as far as I can tell -- it looks like `lib/common-lisp/sbcl` is more like the Common Lisp cache: one .fasl file per .lisp file. If I point StumpWM at `lib/common-lisp/sbcl` via `set-module-dir`, it finds no modules. If I point StumpWM at `share/common-lisp/sbcl`, it finds modules, tries to compile them, and then gives me a permissions error about writing to the `/gnu` store. Is anyone using StumpWM contrib modules successfully with Guix's new layout? How? [1] - https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/blob/master/module.lisp#L70 -- Katherine
