I tried again, follow README file but there's a error (dot command?) 
when I run "make":

/bin/sh /home/dani/Desktop/development/git/guix/build-aux/missing dot 
-Tpng -Gratio=.9 -Gnodesep=.005 -Granksep=.00005 -Nfontsize=9 
-Nheight=.1 -Nwidth=.1 < "doc/images/bootstrap-graph.dot" > 
"doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png.tmp"
/home/dani/Desktop/development/git/guix/build-aux/missing: line 81: dot: 
command not found
WARNING: 'dot' is missing on your system.
          You might have modified some files without having the proper
          tools for further handling them.  Check the 'README' file, it
          often tells you about the needed prerequisites for installing
          this package.  You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in
          case some other package contains this missing 'dot' program.
