Yep, i tried to do it.
I tried to add it to another file (with (define-public tcal)). And i tried
to add my file to "" (and it appeared in the Makefile). In both cases,
nothing happened, still unknown package.
So i tried "./pre-inst-env guix build hello" to confirm that this is the
problem of my package. And my terminal just froze. It seems that this is
not what should have happened.
Also, while I was experimenting I tried "sudo ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon
--build-users-group = guixbuild". And it froze my terminal too.
