Subject: Guix build system customization
Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2021 22:00:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lfa0j726.fsf@timmydouglas.com> (raw)


I was wondering if there were any guides for making large customizations
to the Guix build systems. For example, one might want to set up custom
CFLAGS for gnu-build-system, change the default value for stripping
binaries, etc. This would disable substitutions and void the warranty,
but might be fun for people that make a hobby out of system crafting...


I tried changing the default value for #:strip-binaries for example, but
hit &derivation-missing-output-error (output: "debug") when doing guix
pull on my forked repo. The error makes sense given the context of what
I did, but it doesn't help me find my mistake.

I thought it might be worth seeing if anyone has spent more time looking
at this and/or documenting it. I wasn't able to find much with the
search terms I tried.

Thanks!
