Hi,
The manual says ((guix) Building from Git):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The easiest way to set up a development environment for Guix is, of
course, by using Guix! The following command starts a new shell where
all the dependencies and appropriate environment variables are set up to
hack on Guix:
guix environment guix
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
After running this command successfully, I get the following error while
running ./bootstrap:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
+ exec autoreconf -vfi
./bootstrap: line 5: exec: autoreconf: not found
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This makes me wonder: has something changed, and the manual is now
incorrect?
I don't think so. Running ./bootstrap is not part of the normal process for *building*
guix - only for bootstrapping. But you are right - it is common to want to do that.
For this reason I often run:
guix environment guix --ad-hoc automake autoconf texinfo help2man
But perhaps you are right - the manual might want to mention this.
