Hello,
I'm attempting to build and install a package definition for this
program: https://github.com/milgra/sov
Following the examples in the Guix manual, and so far so good, except
that build tests fail with this output after running `guix package
--install-from-file=sov.scm`:
Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories
I'm inexperienced with Guile Scheme & writing custom package
definitions, and I'm not sure how to fix this. If I disable tests with
`#:tests? #false` then the package appears to build and install without
an issue... I'd still like to know what's going on, though. I've
attached the .scm file for reference.
Maybe I've done something wrong along the way?
P.S. My apologies if this message shows up in the list several times, I
seem to be having difficulties with my mail client and I'm not sure if
anything is being sent.(define-module (config packages sov)

(synopsis "An overlay that shows schemas for all workspaces to make
navigation in sway easier.")
(description "Sway overview is an overview application for the sway tiling
window manager. Tiling window managers are about simplicity so by default they
don't have any kind of overview feature. It is okay under five workspaces
because you can just remember where specific windows were opened but over 5
workspaces it can get really complicated. Sway overview draws a schematic
layout of all your workspaces on each output. It contains all windows, window
titles and window contents. Thumbnail based overview solutions can become
confusing quickly when the thumbnails become too small to recognize, sway
overview won't. The common usage of Sway overview is to bound its appereance to
the desktop switcher buttons with a little latency. Sway overview can be
structured via html, styled via css.")
