Clone the git repository:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git

Then cd guix and copy your recipe in gnu/packages/wicd.scm.

Then make && ./pre-inst-env guix build wicd

There will likely be a bunch of errors that you will have to figure out
how to fix :) Do not hesitate to ask for help either on this
mailing-list or on #guix on Freenode.


Cyril.
