Using an up-to-date guix (from git master), I cannot build the libsrtp package (v1.5.4) which Qemu requires. The check phase fails: cd test; /tmp/guix-build-libsrtp-1.5.4.drv-0/libsrtp-1.5.4/test/rtpw_test.sh >/dev/null make: *** [Makefile:35: runtest] Error 255 phase `check' failed after 18.2 seconds Reproducing the problem (supposing it's reproducible) should be as simple as: $> guix build libsrtp When using an up-to-date guix. Below is the complete build log.
