Non-root installs.
Hey all - I tried on IRC, but was told that this might be a better place. I'm wondering if someone here has experience with a non-root install. Optimally, is there by this point a guix-install.sh for non-root? I know it's doable, eg: https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/GUIX-NO-ROOT.org I was able to get my sysadmin to create a writable /gnu, which I gather will allow me to install binaries, rather than recomplie everything, since I'll have the right path. Now that I've read the install script, I see that it also uses /var/guix. Do I need to ask for that, or is there a way around it, by putting it in /gnu/var, maybe? I assume I can put /root/.config/guix in my home directory, but I also see we need a guixbuild group. How can I get away without this and still run the server manually? All input appreciated! /D

system reconfigure, Git error: the SSL certificate is invalid
Hi,
In a slight variation of section 3.7 of the Guix Manual ("After System
Installation"), I regularly do
guix pull
as a regular user (rx in my case), and then (using rx's guix command),
as root:
# /home/rx/.config/guix/current/bin/guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
(i.e. instead of using sudo, as suggested in the manual)
This combo used to work fine for me for quite a while. Now, since a few days,
having done my
guix pull
step (as user rx), which still works fine for me (updates my guix system), I
get an error when
trying the above reconfigure step:
root@pc ~# /home/rx/.config/guix/current/bin/guix system reconfigure
/etc/config.scm

I have no clue - and I am fairly new to guix, and yet have many thing to learn
- so bear with me, please -
I would prefer to make my next guix steps, however, having a working /
up-to-date system.
Thanks in advance.

Gnucash 4.0 in windows is successfully using libguile-2.2-1.dll from MSYS2.

AFAIU, that's not a native Windows port, that's an MSYS2 port, which is almost the same as a Cygwin build (MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin). IOW, you cannot link the MSYS2 libguile with a native MinGW program, such as GDB or Gnu Make (or Lilypond, or any other application mentioned in this thread). Right?
