Installing gcc debugging symbols?
Is there a way to install debugging information for gcc, as one can for glibc and other packages? I'm trying to test a change to Knot 3.0.0 and have found that gcc takes forever to finish linking (and usually crashes from running out of memory) when building the package using "guix build knot". Meanwhile, if I build the source "manually", from within "guix environment --pure knot", everything works fine. I'd like to diagnose this but connecting to the running gcc instance using gdb doesn't reveal much without gcc's debugging information available. I've tried "guix install gcc-toolchain@7.5:debug" but that installs debugging information for only glibc. I could edit gnu/packages/gcc.scm to set the "stripped?" variable to false and rebuild gcc so its debugging symbols are preserved, but then it's not clear how to install them. It seems I can build and install gcc itself with guix package --install-from-expression='(@ (gnu packages gcc) gcc-7)' but what I really want is guix package --install-from-expression='(@ (gnu packages gcc) (list gcc-7 "debug"))' This fails with a syntax error, however, and I see the documentation for "guix package" says Note that this option installs the first output of the specified package, which may be insufficient when needing a specific output of a multiple-output package. Is there a trick to making this work? -- Simon South si...@simonsouth.net

Helvetica in `guix graph`
Hi Guixers, When I pipe `guix graph hello | xdot -`, the characters are displayed as squares. Got to insert `… | sed "s/Helvetica/sans/g" | …` in the pipeline. Not sure if this is a bug. Maybe my system should find a substitute for "Helvetica" automatically ? … or maybe line 241 of 'guix/graph.scm' needs a tiny correction ? (format port " \"~a\" [label = \"~a\", shape = box, fontname = Helvetica];~%" id label)) Best regards, Fulbert

Packages are installed once and then reused in different profiles (AFAIK). I just did not give much thought to it at the moment. Supporting multiple profiles in a package can be a real pain, right? I mean, there is no magic bullet. In the case of fontconfig, we have the ability to modify the fonts.conf in order to add more font paths. As for other programs, there is usually a way, but it is not universal. Of course, the hammer solution would be to shove a package going into a different profile into a different store entry (under assumption that at the build-time the package takes -p option as the default). Perhaps something like that could be offered as an option to users? Maybe this is even possible now? I have not done any research on it. On the other hand, I have not seen any real "official" endorsement of multi-profile setups by Guix as a project :) . Cheers, T
