website: A little help running the website locally

[Luis Felipe <luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com>]

Hi,

I've never been able to build and run the internationalized website correctly following the instructions on the README. I even thought there was a typo in the instructions (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47623), but it seems there is actually a particular problem on my side that I don't know how to resolve. So I could use a little help.

The problem seems to be that the instructions on the README expect a "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" directory to exist, but it doesn't exist here. There is a "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales" directory instead (note the plural name).

I've tried building and running the website using the "locales" directory to work around the issue. It used to build most of the time, but with enconding issues. Running the website almost always failed with some error about invalid arguments to "setlocale"), so I used plane "haunt serve".

Currently, though, using guix 1f68568 and guix website f7ca68f, building fails for me everytime I run this:

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
$ GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL --share=/tmp -- haunt build
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Backtrace:
           2 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/yzaxlqmiraznba4yf2cyqpyla9q?")
In haunt/ui.scm:
    131:2  1 (haunt-main _ "build")
In unknown file:
           0 (setlocale 6 "")

ERROR: In procedure setlocale:
In procedure setlocale: Invalid argument
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★


So I haven't been able to work much on the website for a long time. I don't know what's going on...
