Could you be more specific about the build errors you encounter?

To run Cuirass, the best option is install the ‘cuirass’ package in
Guix: ‘guix install cuirass’.  Then you can start the ‘cuirass register’
and ‘cuirass web’ processes manually or get systemd to handle them (I
don’t think Cuirass provides ‘.service’ files, but it should.)

If you want to be on the bleeding edge (not recommended), the easiest
way is to run ‘guix build -f guix.scm’ from the Cuirass source tree.

HTH!
