help with emacs package

[Adam Kandur via]

hi everyone!
i'm trying to pack this https://melpa.org/#/roguel-ike
to do this, i wrote this package:
---
(define-public emacs-roguel-ike
  ;; tagged branch is outdated.
  (let ((revision "0")
        (commit "706dcb0687e8016d7d776f9d9e5ace9fdbbca43c"))
    (package
      (name "emacs-roguel-ike")
      (version (git-version "0.1.0" revision commit))
      (source
       (origin
         (method git-fetch)
         (uri (git-reference
           (url "https://github.com/stevenremot/roguel-ike")
           (commit "master")))
         (file-name (git-file-name name version))
         (sha256
          (base32 "0rgv4y9aa5cc2ddz3y5z8d22xmr8kf5c60h0r3g8h91jmcw3rb4z"))))
      (build-system emacs-build-system)
      (home-page "https://github.com/stevenremot/roguel-ike.git")
      (synopsis "Coffee-break roguelike for Emacs")
      (description "The goal of this project was to develop a coffee-break roguelike for Emacs.  
The complete game would allow the player to create various characters and to make them fulfill challenges like arena fight and short dungeon explorations.")
      (license license:gpl3))))

By default, the HOME environment variable in the build environment is
set to /homeless-shelter, a non-existent directory. Some packages try to
access HOME to put temporary files or for some other reason. When they
find the HOME directory does not exist, they error out. Note the
following error message in your build log.

>>> Creating directory: Permission denied, /homeless-shelter

So, for such packages, we set HOME to /tmp, a directory that actually
exists in the build environment.
