bug#44450: Issues installing Avogadro

[Godefroy Vannoye]

Hi,

First let me apologize if I have missed something, I'm a new user of
guix and know only the basics about compilation processes.

I am using guix on the Arch distribution, and installed it using the
shell installer script. My first tests seem to indicate that guix is
installed properly.

I then tried to install Avogadro, but met the following error when
building it:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/build'
make: *** [Makefile:155: all] Error 2
command "make" "-j" "4" failed with status 2
note: keeping build directory `/tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0'
builder for
`/gnu/store/pc3pdcpm0mwbfvymwizfs14mdfb6qa5x-avogadro-1.2.0.drv' failed
with exit code 1
build of /gnu/store/pc3pdcpm0mwbfvymwizfs14mdfb6qa5x-avogadro-1.2.0.drv
failed

I retried to build it by running guix build avogadro -K to look at the
makefile and found at line 155

cd /tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/build && $(MAKE) -f
CMakeFiles/Makefile2 libavogadro/all

This is the first line of the makefile where $(MAKE) appears, but I
could not find where it was defined (I suppose it is defined as make
-j4, but it is not explicit in the makefile or in
environment-variables). This makes me assume that the error comes from
the $(MAKE), but I'm not knowledgeable enough to verify it.

Feel free to ask me anything or to explain me what I could have done wrong.

Thank you for your work and for your time,

Godefroy Vannoye

Welcome! :-)

The Guix Data Service indicates that the package avogrado is broken.

I get the same thing.  But I think the error comes from an early step.


Well, then I am running:

  cd /tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0
  mkdir mine && cd mine
  guix environmment avogadro
  cmake ../avogadro-1.2.0-checkout/

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[..]
CMake Error: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/my/libavogadro/include/avogadro//tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/my/libavogadro/src/config.h': no such file or directory
[..]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I would try to address this first error by examining the folder avogadro-1.2.0-checkout/.


All the best,
simon

We now have avogradro2, which builds correctly.
