This is great, but if the build fails I just get an error message, there is not output regarding where and why it failed. --8<---cut here---start->8--- scheme@(guile-user)> ,run-in-store (build-package prot-common) The following derivations will be built: /gnu/store/scjj4z453cwh88nlrkbxhllvkdyr90h0-prot-common-0.drv /gnu/store/px4b6c5sc819pjdpn53sh12p3ahyja9n-prot-common.el.drv While executing meta-command: ERROR: 1. : message: "build of `/gnu/store/scjj4z453cwh88nlrkbxhllvkdyr90h0-prot-common-0.drv' failed" status: 1 --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Is there way to make it ouput the same thing as it would if I ran `guix build` on the CLI?

Maybe “build-package“ could be imported with ",use(guix)" or moved elsewhere than (guix scripts) which is maybe not the natural place. All the best, simon
Re: Building packages in REPL
Hi! Thank you Ludovic for sharing these REPL commands. I cannot build packages this way in Geiser though, because unless a substitute is available, the Geiser buffer chokes on the very large output. Does anyone know how to work around this limitation? Does anyone build Guix packages from the Geiser REPL? Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Yes, but provides something like: --8<---cut here---start->8--- (use-modules (guix store) (guix derivations) (guix packages)) (define (build-packages packages) (with-store store (let ((builds (map (lambda (package) (package-derivation store package)) packages))) (build-derivations store builds (define (build-package package) (build-packages (list package))) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Because otherwise, you need to know "package-derivation" and "build-derivation" and where they are (I run 'ag' or 'git-grep' to find them which is not handy). And for example, I knew it was possible but it was not "obvious". :-) Cheers, simon
