emacs + straight.el

[Andreas Reuleaux <rx@a-rx.info>]

OK, next question - I am progressing at least :-)

My emacs configuration is in terms of straight.el:

  https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el

this works by placing the following stanza in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el
(as explained on the straight.el website):

--------------------
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
       (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
      (bootstrap-version 5))
  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
    (with-current-buffer
        (url-retrieve-synchronously
         "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
--------------------




or similar: running my script myrun.el from the command line, which install some packages:
leaf, flycheck... as well.

--------------------
:;exec /usr/bin/env emacs -batch -Q -l "$0" -f main "$@"


(require 'cl-lib)



(defun main ()
  (interactive)

  (cl-destructuring-bind
   (&optional fst snd) command-line-args-left
   
    
   (progn
     
     (message (concat "cmd line default dir: " command-line-default-directory))
     (message (concat "usr emacs dir: " user-emacs-directory))
     (message (concat "run w/ [user emacs dir] straight: "       user-emacs-directory "straight"))
    
		      
     (defvar bootstrap-version)
     (let ((bootstrap-file
	    (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
	   (bootstrap-version 5))
       (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
	 (with-current-buffer
	     (url-retrieve-synchronously
	      "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
	      'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
	   (goto-char (point-max))
	   (eval-print-last-sexp)))
       (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
     

     (straight-use-package 'leaf)
     (straight-use-package 'flycheck)
     (straight-use-package 'flycheck-haskell)
     

     

     )
   )
  )
----------

In either case: these work fine for me under debian, but under guix I
get some nasty error message: Failed to run git...

I *do* have git installed with
  guix package -i git

and it lives in

  rx@dell ~$ type git
  git is /run/current-system/profile/bin/git

Has anyone been successful with this? Is there a way to specify the git
executable in straight.el - should I ask on the straight.el issue
tracker instead? Thanks in advance.
