the perfect setup with geiser
Hi, this doesn't work for me from the manual: ;; Assuming the Guix checkout is in ~/src/guix. (with-eval-after-load 'geiser-guile (add-to-list 'geiser-guile-load-path "~/src/guix")) After changing the patch to where my local guix checkout is at, I'm not able to load guix code in an emacs buffer. I have all the necessary packages installed via Guix WDYT
help-guix@gnu.org
Hi, what this the convention for when a function is called or or or or for example. What does the & prefix mean?
How can I step through this code?
Hi How can I step through this code? (define-syntax do (syntax-rules () ((do ((var init step ...) ...) (test expr ...) command ...) (letrec ((loop (lambda (var ...) (if test (begin (if #f #f) expr ...) (begin command ... (loop (do "step" var step ...) ...)) (loop init ...))) ((do "step" x) x) ((do "step" x y) y)))
debugging %build-inputs
Hi, How can I debug what %build-inputs is in the context of the package being built? (arguments `(#:configure-flags (list (string-append "--with-tcl=" (assoc-ref %build-inputs "tcl") "/lib") (string-append "--with-tk=" (assoc-ref %build-inputs "tk") "/lib" The above snippet is from gtkwave (e.g. guix edit gtkwave). What I would like to do is drop into a debugger in the environment where I can print %build-inputs. If I can't do it that way what is the Guiler way to achieve what I'm trying to do? Any advice and enlightment would be much appreciated. all best, jgart

Oh interesting I did not know that. Thank you!

coreutils doesn't need to be in the profile since /usr/bin/env is linked
to (file-append coreutils "bin/env"); see in the value of %base-services
in (gnu services base), which contains:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(service special-files-service-type
`(("/bin/sh" ,(file-append bash "/bin/sh"))
("/usr/bin/env" ,(file-append coreutils "/bin/env"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
'env' looks up the command passed to it from PATH, but that's usually
satisfied if you were going to use a FHS location anyway such as
"/bin/bash".

Wayland Functionality for Jami
The Jami available in the repo.s, currently, causes an error about the Wayland plugin for QT not being available. While some app.s don't require this to be bundled with the app. – apparently (I run into similar errors for Qutebrowser but installing QTWayland fixes the issue) –, Jami does. Building the package definition in the repo. exactly as is but with QTWayland added as an additional ~input~ causes Jami to be able to be used under Wayland perfectly. So my question is, what would be the best means of updating this package? Should QTWayland just get added to the ~inputs~, even for users who aren't running Wayland? Or would it make sense to just create a second Jami package definition (called =jami-wayland= or something) that ~inherit~s the original Jami package and just adds QTWayland to the ~inputs~? Or a third option?
attempted ca-certificates package
Hello, I'm new to Guix (and Scheme) and trying to get ca-certificates working in Guix System. I intend to use Guix System on an old PC for a router, with Pi-Hole as the DNS server atop it, and ca-certificates is a dependency for Pi-Hole. The makefile of ca-certificates appears to just copy a bunch of bash scripts into a given installation directory. I've convinced the makefile to install those scripts into /gnu/store on a Guix System laptop, but it seems none of them are appearing in the path; I get a "command not found" error trying to test the update-ca-certificates script after installing the package. Sourcing the Guix profile after installing the package didn't help. I'd appreciate any insight into how to resolve the "command not found" error. This is the ca-certificates package I wrote: (define ca-certificates (package (name "ca-certificates") ;no recent tagged releases, used latest master commit at time of writing (version "2021.10.04") ; use opensuse version since debian version has no license (home-page "https://github.com/openSUSE/ca-certificates;) (synopsis "Utilities for system wide CA certificate installation") (license license:gpl2) (description "Utilities for system wide CA certificate installation.\nupdate-ca-certificates is intended to keep the certificate stores of various components in sync with the system CA certificates.")

Re: bash scripts in Guix question - suspend ?
Hi jordi, >I'm puzzled, as long as 'loginctl suspend' is working in the shell But '~/.config/i3/i3exit loginctl suspend' isn't. Judging by your original snippet, you've mashed two commands together: you meant either ~/.config/i3/i3exit suspend or loginctl suspend But nobody here can tell you for certain how to call your 'i3exit' script without knowing what's in it. Aside: you seem to be writing a wrapper script to wrap a wrapper script to call a wrapper for writing to /proc. Is that necessary? It can make things hard to follow. Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
