So
I am trying to install [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/)
Then this error:

> mv anki.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/)
> xdg-mime install anki.xml --novendor
> make: xdg-mime: Command not found
>
> make: *** [Makefile:20: install] Error 127

I tried guix install xdg-mime
but
guix install error xdg-mime: unknown package

is this fixable?

If I am not mistaken, that error happens when a dependency (in this case
make) is missing from the package's 'native-inputs' field for
dependencies.  But make should still be pulled from requiring the make
build flow, so maybe that got omitted.  So if you fix the packaging .scm
I'm sure someone here would be happy to pull the fix.

The package providing “xdg-mime” is called “xdg-utils”.

Have you considered packaging anki for Guix?
