Hello Ricardo!
At first I thought "How could I overlook that guide?", but then I
realized it is the one I tried following before. This fails for my
library at the `guix package --install-from-file=my-hello.scm` step and
I seem to not be able to get it to work. Perhaps it is something simple.
I have the state of what I tried at (permalink)
https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guix-package-manager-tutorials/src/85bd80735b44ac0bab5f1565e6c5ce1defdf7ef9/make-a-package
and there is a `package.scm` file, which I try with `guix package
--install-from-file='package.scm'`.
Should I move this over to the Guix list? On one hand it is about a
Guile library, so it would be good to have the knowledge here, but on
the other hand it is mainly about what to do for packaging.
In general, I would like to go the simplest and cleanest way to make a
package. Perhaps I will need more at some point, if I write a program,
that is not pure Guile, but I have not yet planned any such project.
Perhaps for making packages for other programming languages, when those
packages are not yet in Guix.
Best regards,
Zelphir
