Sorry, if this mail comes around twice. Thunderbird crashed :(

Sadly the instructions to build it are a bit unclear. I tried:

fps@guix ~/cuirass$ guix environment --ad-hoc gcc gcc:lib automake guix
guile
guix environment: warning: ambiguous package specification `guile'
guix environment: warning: choosing guile-2.0.11 from
gnu/packages/guile.scm:131:2
fps@guix ~/cuirass [env]$
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$GUILE_LOAD_PATH:/home/fps/guix/ ./configure

configure: error: in `/home/fps/cuirass':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too
old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GUILE_CFLAGS
and GUILE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details

How about including a guix package definition then we can easily build
it assuming "we" know how to do out-of-guix-tree package building :)

Flo
