[PATCH] Add skalibs, execline.

[PATCH] Add skalibs, execline.

[Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 917 bytes --]

Adds the common skalibs library and the execline shell-like language.

I'm wondering if the commands of the language belong in bin or if they
maybe should be in libexec/execline. They have pretty generic names
and might clash with other packages.

Either way I think patch #0003 is important, as it makes a script like:

#!/gnu/store/vragmy67fri71aamzp3ifbxf00n27qyy-execline-2.1.2.2/bin/execlineb -P
foreground { sleep 1 } echo blah

... work at all times without writing
/gnu/store/vragmy67fri71aamzp3ifbxf00n27qyy-execline-2.1.2.2/bin/foreground.
Having access to the language without having to have it in $PATH seems
important.

Having to patch, run and redirect the output of a shell command during
the build to make it compile was a fun excercise, as was adding the
PATH wrapper. :-)

Descriptions are my own, inspired by the originals on the homepages,
as the originals are maybe a bit too self-promoting. :-)

Replace the first two with:

and use a backquote instead of a quote in ‘arguments.’

Huh. It seemed to fix something for me, but must be something else I
changed then.

But that probably explains something else. I'm working on s6, and it
expects -lexecline to work. Currently I'm feeding its configure
"--with-lib=.../lib/execline", would be nice to get that done in
execline instead. Modifying LIBRARY_PATH has no effect, what do I need
to do to override gcc?

Ok. I'll rename it too, as s6 turned out to need the same patch as
well. It's not guix-specific, they actually don't compile from source.
It's funny.

Yeah. I'll spend some more effort on removing what can be removed.

LIBRARY_PATH is automatically set to contains all the lib/
sub-directories, so nothing special is needed.  The problem probably
lies elsewhere, maybe in the build system of s6.

If I do 'guix environment s6' with s6 having execline as an input, only
.../...execline.../lib is in LIBRARY_PATH, .../lib/execline isn't.

I see.  Then I think passing --with-lib to s6’s configure script is the
right thing.

Alternately, if you think other packages will need this in the future,
you could pass execline’s configure something like --libdir=PREFIX/lib
to have the library installed to that place instead of
PREFIX/lib/libexec.

Could, you send an updated patch?

TIA!

Ok, that's another approach that makes sense. It is probably getting that
now but insisting on putting it in a subdir. Will look into it.

Vacation is here and next week is hack week in the country-side. If I'm
successful, maybe I can even snare one or two more people to add packages!
There will be at least one old LISP geek there and I'm already working on
him. :-)

After talking with the author, an explicit --with-lib made the problem
go away, no patch necessary. Apparently GNU make has a special case
where it knows how to interpret -lmylib listed as a dependency.

And here they are. I improved (shortened) the wording for the
descriptions and fixed the formatting for the commit message.

Applied with a slight change to the description to make it a sentence.
