Subject: Checksum error on manual package install
Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 11:08:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHa1oyBw5JJYSQEoL43CUTSp89JCHyKwCMofqD6i+oV2HTZcOw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am trying to install a non-packaged piece of software, [[
https://nomacs.org/][nomacs]]. It
seems that through the paradigm of Guix, this is to be done with ~guix
package~ rather than with ~make~ etc. Or, put differently, to install
an application which is not in the package repos, I need to package it
myself. Am I correct in my understanding?
I have read through "[[
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Defining-Packages.html][Section
6.2 Defining Packages]]", as well as the
blog post "[[
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2018/a-packaging-tutorial-for-guix/][A
packaging tutorial for Guix]]", and followed along at home.
I was successful in packaging and installing "my-hello.scm". It seems
to me that packaging ~nomacs~ should be as simple as replacing the
relevant pieces within the "my-hello.scm" template.
#+begin_src scheme :file my-nomacs.scm
(use-modules (guix packages)
(guix download)
(guix build-system gnu)
(guix licenses))
(package
(name "nomacs")
(version "3.12")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/archive/"
version
".tar.gz"))
(sha256
(base32
"f4a32169e6c0cb939971da2732e4d67c6e2e649506da1b55bfc94963a26280ff"))))

formats including RAW and psd images.")

#+end_src
However, when I try to install, I get an error about invalid base32:
#+begin_src sh
$ guix package --install-from-file=my-nomacs.scm
guix package: error: exception thrown: #<condition
&invalid-base32-character [character: #\e string:

23ee2a0>
#+end_src
Here is how I obtained that hash:
#+begin_src sh

#+end_src
This is where I'm stuck. I know that the hash needs to be base32 and
that the hash returned by ~sha256sum~ is not that. I would think this
wouldn't matter since the Guile script calls ~base32~.
I'm unsure how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Matt
