14.1 Building from Git

14.1 Building from Git

[mikadoZero]

I am trying to follow the instruction in the Contributing section of the
manual, as I want to submit some patches.  Following "14.1 Building from
Git" I am getting an error when running `./bootstrap`.

`guix describe`
guix 19c0cdb
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 19c0cdb9e6271956015232421ef7f63a1ad001ae

Here is what I am doing that leads to the error.

`git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git`

`cd guix`

`guix environment guix`

Then I run `./bootstrap` and it gives me this error output:

I'm also learning to build from git but I never had such problems with
./bootstrap

I'll try to reproduce your bug...

AFAIU it does not matter what Guix version is in your user profile since
following "7.2 Running Guix Before It Is Installed" you will «test the
changes made in your local source tree checkout without actually
installing them. So that you can distinguish between your “end-user” hat
and your “motley” costume.»

so in this case is useful to show your "git describe" and not "guix
describe":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
giovanni@anemone: git describe
v0.16.0-3520-gc0d43f6223
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

AFAIU that means: version 0.16.0 and 3520th commit, current commit
"c0d43f6223" (I miss the meaning of g before c0d43f6223)

that is: my “motley” costume will use c0d43f6223 for development

compare it with my current guix version (used by my end-user costume):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

this error is documented in "7.1 Building from Git" (where did you get
14.1 numbering in the subject?) and the solution is described there also

anyway I don't understand why this happens in a "environment guix"

I'm in this environment

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
giovanni@anemone: env | grep GUIX_ENV
GUIX_ENVIRONMENT=/gnu/store/kjmqpchkfy8rvv19jvd14q40shm9fk2p-profile
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in this environment ACLOCAL_PATH is defined as

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
giovanni@anemone: env | grep AC
ACLOCAL_PATH=/gnu/store/kjmqpchkfy8rvv19jvd14q40shm9fk2p-profile/share/aclocal
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

AFAIU in "environment guix" all needed devel tools should be installed
and related evironment variables set up

are you sure you are running "./bootstrap" in the environment?

HTH!

Did get `./bootstrap` to work thanks to Ricardo Wurmus's suggestion to remove
environment variables from my .zshrc. But I am not getting an error with
configure.  Details are in my reply to Ricardo's message.

I am reading the manual in Emacs's info reader and that is the number
that it gives that section of the manual.

In my reply to Ricardo's message I have included the output of
`printenv`.

Could you try if you get different behaviour with “guix environment
--pure guix”?

This looks like some environment variables are not set properly.  If you
set variables in ~/.bashrc, for example, (instead of ~/.bash_profile)
that could interfere with “guix environment”.

Could you please show the output of “env” after you ran “guix
environment guix”?

Thank you for your help.

Using `guix environment --pure guix`

Removing all the environment variables from .zhsrc allows `./bootstrap`
to finish.  It outputs these warnings:

Thank you.
I am now using this:

`./configure --localstatedir=/var`

But I am still getting the same error.

Why are /root/.guix-profile directories first?  Are setting these
variables in some shell initialization files?

I am using zsh.  I only have .zprofile and .zshrc as zsh configuration
files.  I have already commented out all the export of environment
variables from .zshrc to get `./bootstrap` to finish.

I did copy the suggested exports that were output when I ran `guix
package --manifest=manifest.scm` into .zprofile and they were:

export PATH="/root/.guix-profile/bin:/root/.guix-profile/sbin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
export CPATH="/root/.guix-profile/include${CPATH:+:}$CPATH"
export LIBRARY_PATH="/root/.guix-profile/lib${LIBRARY_PATH:+:}$LIBRARY_PATH"
export GHC_PACKAGE_PATH="/root/.guix-profile/lib/ghc-8.4.3/package.conf.d${GHC_PACKAGE_PATH:+:}$GHC_PACKAGE_PATH"                                                   
export ASPELL_DICT_DIR="/root/.guix-profile/lib/aspell"
export GIT_SSL_CAINFO="/root/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
export GIT_EXEC_PATH="/root/.guix-profile/libexec/git-core"
export SSL_CERT_DIR="/root/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs"
export SSL_CERT_FILE="/root/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
export ACLOCAL_PATH="/root/.guix-profile/share/aclocal${ACLOCAL_PATH:+:}$ACLOCAL_PATH"
export CURL_CA_BUNDLE="/root/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"


I commented out all of the above export of environment variables in
.zprofile and ran `guix environment --pure guix` then ran `printenv` but
that has not changed the order.  /root/.guix-profile directories are
still first.


Then if I continue with:

`./bootstrap`
`./configure --localstatdir=/var`

I still get the same error message.


I had been using the root user.  I tried with a non root user and got
the same error message after running:

`guix environment --pure guix`
`./bootstrap`
`./configure --localstatdir=/var`

With that non root user `printenv` outputs:

I suggest to not do this and to add this snippet instead:

    export GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
    source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile

“guix environment --pure” spawns a sub-shell.  You need to ensure that
for sub-shells the variables are not set — this is currently not the
case as evidenced by printenv.  I don’t know about what files zsh reads
under what conditions, so I cannot recommend a way around this.

You could also try to use Bash instead.

It is now in my .bash_profile.

Thank you

I have been able to switch my non root users shell from zsh to bash.
Now with a user that has a bash shell I am able to continue on using the
contributing section of the manual as a guide and can do: bootstrap,
configure, `./pre-inst-env guix lint package-name` and `./pre-inst-env
guix build --rounds=4 package-name`.

mikadoZero,

(Probably) not a solution to your problem, I'm afraid, but:

Guix does *not* suggest copying these into shell initialisation 
files, and you should remove the ones you've added.

Kind regards,

Thank you for the suggestion.
