Hello,
I managed to build a Guix System image with the Sway WM for the Pinebook
Pro. The image is quite large (~6GiB) but it is bootable and works fine.
Here are the steps I followed:
* I built a cross-compiled barebones Pinebook Pro image as described in
my previous email.
* I used that image to turn the Pinebook Pro into an offload machine.
* From my main x86_64 machine, I ran the following command:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix system image ~/tmp/pinebook.scm -s aarch64-linux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The pinebook.scm file is attached.
* I flashed the image and booted from it, exactly like for the
cross-compiled image.
This is an interesting first step as generating desktop images for ARM
devices is really convenient.
Using the ARM machine as an offload machine to build a native ARM image
from an Intel machine is less convenient though. I would really like to
be able to build this same image using cross-compilation. The recent
series sent by Maxime are making this goal more realistic.
Thanks,
Mathieu
