OK I wrongly assumed that the 3 bash packages, being listed in the system
packages, did not need to be explicitly installed in order to be used by
(gnu build system). So now i've corrected that and they're in my user path.
arnaud@brix ~$ guix package --search-paths
export PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/bin:/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/sbin"
*export BASH_LOADABLES_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/lib/bash"*
export GUIX_GTK2_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/share"
export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/lib/gio/modules"
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/lib/pkgconfig:/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/share/pkgconfig"

export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/include"
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/include"
export LIBRARY_PATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/lib"
export INFOPATH="/home/arnaud/.guix-profile/share/info"
arnaud@brix ~$
Still, the result is the same.
As Thomas kindly noticed, there actually is no configure script provided
anywhere in the source code, so perhaps the Makefile can be directly
invoked, skipping the usual configure stage ?
In the meantime I'm going to try the environment definition route as well.
Thanks for your help, really appreciated !
