wicd porting so far.

To begin with, I haven't gotten very far.

I'm reading through the manual, and the first thing I figured out what to
do is write the package definition, http://pastebin.com/2q7LCv2i .

I'm not sure what exactly to do with it, it was something about putting it
in the guix build tree. Though I'm not 100% sure what that is.

Another thing that I'm a bit confused about is the base32 string in the
beginning of each store file in /gnu/store*, is it after you build a
package def, you "guix hash" it or is there another process.

And with the service definition for dmd, I think we can worry about that
later, after we've ported guix.

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.

For starters, the make command returns an error
"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

Though there clearly are 2 makefiles. Makefile.in and Makefile.am

You need to run the './bootstrap' script first.  See the 'HACKING' file
for more details about building from git.

after install autoconf as the hacking file suggested, the ./bootstrap now
complains about not having autopoint to run

You must also install GNU Gettext, also mentioned in the HACKING file.

Ok, so far, I've got the build environment setup, but I realized that I
must have urwid to get an ncurses interface in wicd, so I'm doing that
first. Here is the urwid.scm http://paste.lisp.org/display/14553 before you
point out anything, I plan to put it on the python.scm file, just not right
now because I don't want to get confused or anything. Here is the error
file after I ./configure, make, ./pre-inst-env guix build urwid
http://paste.lisp.org/display/145537 Also notice that I didn't change the
hash, it's the same one as the less.scm hash. I still don't know how to
generate the base32 string. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's "utils-group".  Wrong URL?

Execute 'guix download http://xxxx/uriwd-1.3.0.tar.gz' should give the
right base32ed sha256 hash, as same as 'guix hash uriwd-1.3.0.tar.gz'.
