Hi. I'm trying to build Xawtv in GuixSD to use my webcamera during
screencasts. I wrote package defintion for xawtv, it passes configuration
and build phases, but fails on install phase with error:
/gnu/store/6908gy3pws0ccys49ni98idwnicchlr2-coreutils-8.26/bin/install:
invalid user ‘root’
What do I need to do to avoid this error?
Here is xawtv.scm that I wrote:
(define-module (xawtv)
#:use-module (guix licenses)

Most likely the makefile does “install -o root …”, but there’s no “root”
user in the build environment.
To work around this, simply remove that “-o root” from the makefile,
along these lines:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/hurd.scm#n265
HTH,
Ludo’.

Hi, if you are willing to add 'xawtv' package to Guix, (gnu packages tv)
module will be appropriate for it.
