Problem on packaging qt-light extension for Chicken

Problem on packaging qt-light extension for Chicken

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi Guix,

trying to prepare package for qt-light[1] extension for chicken-scheme,
I faced an issue about finding the extension in cache. 

my package definition:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu)
             (guix build-system chicken)
             (guix svn-download)
             (guix packages)
             (gnu packages chicken)
             (gnu packages qt)
             ((guix licenses) #:prefix license:))
(package
  (name "chicken-qt-light")
  (version "1.0")
  (source
   (origin
     (method svn-fetch)
     (uri (svn-reference
           (url (string-append
                 "https://code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/"
                 "release/5/qt-light/tags/" version))
           (revision 39484)
           (user-name "anonymous")
           (password "")))
     (file-name (string-append "chicken-qt-light-" version "-checkout"))
     (sha256
      (base32
       "09mhv6d4zfc0n2vxaw1d8s3hr9bdh19iq389ajzsm2947988rs58"))))
  (build-system chicken-build-system)
  (arguments
   '(#:egg-name "qt-light"
     #:phases
     (modify-phases %standard-phases
       (add-before 'build 'setup-environment
         (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
           (setenv "QTDIR" (assoc-ref inputs "qt"))
           #t)))
     ))
  (inputs `(("qt" ,qtbase)))
  (home-page "https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/qt-light")

Error: extension not cached
command "chicken-install" "-cached" "-no-install" "qt-light" failed with status 70

When I saw the message I was puzzled and tried to work around your issues with no success.
I talked with who started the chicken buildsystem, and I was told the error is related with
some dependencies missing.
The error message should be clearer on this but it makes sense, the non-cached extension is
not qt-light but its deps.

The egg says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 (dependencies bind protobj matchable miscmacros shell)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So you probably need to package that first.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

yes the error message wasn't so clear to find if the issue is related
to which part of build process.

I'll try to resolve the dependency issues and see if I can finally 
prepare the package or not. 

Thanks for your feedback!

Reza
