Subject: bug#66537: [PATCH] doc: Recommend building in ‘guix shell -CPW’.
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2023 13:05:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2d49ea4ddadceb4a3017f1a6032fb2858616cdee.1700654648.git.ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6e30603f-4ae2-4de2-af46-dc2fc2ee6bc9@proton.me>
This was prompted by <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66537>, where someone
tried to build Guix within ‘guix shell --pure’ on a foreign distro and
found that ./configure would pick software from the host system.
Suggested by Hiep Pham <hiepph9@proton.me>.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Recommend ‘guix shell -CPW’.
