Trying to Build (Elixir) Mix Packages

[Jaft <wamm_kd_schmelingski@yahoo.com>]

I installed Elixir (from the Guix repo.s) and was trying to install some dependencies. I don't know if anyone will know how to help but I'm entirely out of my depth so I figured I'd at least ask around.

Unfortunately, some of these dependencies have bits of C that ~mix~ attempts to compile. Usually, these require the use of ~rebar3~ so I installed that and pointed ~mix~ towards my Guix binary. That seems fine.

It then asks for ~make~ and ~gcc~; in an attempt to just see if it would work, I tried just installing those (~gcc~ version 10, 11, and 12 were tried).

While it asks for ~gcc~, ~cc~ attempts to be used; so, again trying to see if it would work, I make a soft link of ~cc~ to the installed ~gcc~.

This starts to compile but results in the error I'll post below. …anyone have any ideas about how to solve/work-around this? Very much thanks in advance.

You need to have gcc and make installed. If you are using
Ubuntu or any other Debian-based system, install the packages
"build-essential". Also install "erlang-dev" package if not
included in your Erlang/OTP version. If you're on Fedora, run
"dnf group install 'Development Tools'".
