Re: [Emacs-Guix] make: Error 255

 Hi zimoun,  

  
What about using guix to build like:
  

  
guix build -f guix.scm
  

  
I believe that is how that file is meant to work.
  

  
I’m not sure it entirely answers your question on how to test but maybe 
something like this would work:
  

  
guix environment -L . --ad-hoc emacs emacs-guix -- emacs -Q
  

  
What do you think?

Indeed, it looks like a typo.

I bet it was rewritten from something like "Return *something*
containing the static part of the /etc directory."

It should probably say "Return a  that builds the static part
of the /etc directory."



Re: Guix Days and FOSDEM 2021

2021-01-16 Thread Pjotr Prins
A reminder that thanks to our organising team we have a great line up
for FOSDEM:

  https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

with famous Guix contributors and Guixers doing the moderating :) All
virtual and online this year, so you can attend from anywhere! Put
Sunday February 7th in your diary!

And then on Monday 8th we have another Guix day online as a low
profile unconference. Do sign up and we'll send a reminder here. See

  https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/FOSDEM2021

It is great to do a virtual FOSDEM this way and be able to reach a far
wider audience. Even so we are also happy if just 10 people show up and
get some declarative hacking done :)

Manolis & Pjotr.

strange english in docstring

2021-01-16 Thread Vincent Legoll
Hello,

I don't understand the following docstring
english (even if I guess the meaning):

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system.scm#n861

Yes, as describe in guix.scm:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
;; The main purpose of this file though is to make a development
;; environment for building Emacs-Guix:
;;
;;   guix environment --pure --load=guix.scm
;;   ./autogen.sh
;;   ./configure
;;   make
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

What is the usual procedure to work from source?  I mean, I would like
to try to fix some annoyances and so test before submitting a patch.


Cheers,
simon

 Hi zimoun, 

 
What exactly did you do? It sounds like you checked out emacs-guix and ran make?

I only tried my locally built one, is there a substitute that I can try ?
That would tell if the problem is on my side or not.

> Do you also use some armhf (32-bit) hardware?

I would like. I tried and failed (I tried to build an image for an
orangepi+2e)

I have other non-x86 HW that I would like to have guixsd on.

I don't ask for susbstitutes, I can build them locally if needed and
doable.
