This is actually a really cool usage of Guix — a meta-distribution for
reproducible builds of non-packaged software.

I have guix running on Gentoo, but I had to adjust the build instructions:

guix pull # I do not know whether this was required

cd lisparuga-0.1.0
guix environment --search-paths -l guix.scm
(execute the update of the search paths by copying the lines into the shell)
./configure
make
./pre-inst-env guile game.scm


However it fails at OpenGL:

sly/window.scm:100:20: In procedure init-window:
sly/window.scm:100:20: Throw to key `sdl-error' with args `("make-gl-context" "failed to create OpenGL context: ~A" "Could not create GL context: GLXBadFBConfig")'.


Now if Guix (the build daemon setup with per-user profiles) just came
pre-packaged for all distributions… that would massively simplify
sharing in-development software.


Best wishes,
Arne
