Subject: Stumpwm & using Lisp in guix - particularly quicklisp
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2022 09:45:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f15ad0c6-6b01-2461-2b41-0fbefa12711d@teulu.org> (raw)

Good morning Guix,

I have a working stumpwm config which I use on my desktop gentoo 
installation, and I want to use the same configuration file under guix. 
Unfortunately I run into a problem as when stumpwm starts, it complains 
it can't find package "ql". Quicklisp is installed in my user home 
directory, but this is clearly not being seen by stumpwm. I also note 
that packages I can install through quicklisp are also packaged in guix 
(e.g. alexandria). When I start sbcl in a terminal, everything works as 
expected, and quicklisp is seen.

This leads me to some questions:

  * How do I configure stumpwm on my system so it looks in my home
    directory, and observes my .sbclrc file when starting?
  * What is the guix recommended way for working with lisp packages?
    Should I avoid using quicklisp, and instead use the provided
    packages in guix? I am unable to find any documentation (either
    official or blog posts etc) explaining this.

Many thanks!
