Red Notebook will not build.

Red Notebook will not build.

I am trying to make a Red Notebook package (home page
<rednotebook.app>). I defined a package that should work, but I get an
error when I try to build it. Attached are my package definition
(rednotebook.scm), and the build log
(g05wsv8nqq8m71n3wg65043lixsfaa-rednotebook-2.11.1.drv.bz2). The build
log was produced after I ran `guix pull` and `guix upgrade` on May 6
2019 (guix (GNU Guix) d6a68e90483b35bdc2ea78afe2c81873be67ec95). During
the builld process the '_()' method appears to be undefined. However,
this is not a problem on other systems.

When I try getting source with `guix build --source rednotebook` and
enter an environment with `guix environment rednotebook` I cannot run
the program from the source directory (`bash ./run` or `python3
rednotebook/journal.py` both have the same results). Attached is output
from my attempt (rednotebook.log). It appears Python cannot find the
libgtksourceview shared library, though I can confirm it is located
in the environment's LIBRARY_PATH.

I need a hint on where the problem is:
- If the problem is something wrong with guix it needs to be identified
  and sent to the bug mailing list.
- If it is in my package definition, what should be changed in the
  definition?
- If it is in the package itself (due to programmers neglecting best
  practices of developing in python), how can I apply a custom patch
  until we can get it fixed in the github repository? The info doc
  appears to be missing the details.

I suspect it is a combination of the three.

Thanks in advance!
-Jesse

I didn't take the time to read the full log so sorry if I'm beside the
point but according to the traceback you provided, it seems to me it's
searching for gtksourceview-3.0 which, since recently, is provided by
gtksoureview-3 and not gtksourceview. What happens if you change
gtksourceview to gtksourceview-3 in the propagated-inputs?

Have a nice day,

Thank you for looking into this. I have been trying to fix this for a
while and wondered why I did not get the ususal error. I did not look
too far into it because it was late.

I had generated the package definition from a json file I made
(rednotebook.json) so I could generate the package definition by running
`guix import json rednotebook.json`. I did not update the package
definition after I updated guix. The build log looks mostly unchanged.

I went into the environment again and got a different error this time
(rednotebook.log). I started with this error:

RuntimeError: could not create new GType:
rednotebook+gui+browser+Browser (subclass of void)


When I look into the file that defines the Browser class I see it tries
to import the "webKit2" package, version 4.0 which is not defined by
guix. Then it defines a subclass of WebKit2.WebView which Python says
is null.

Luckily there is a warning about what it is looking for:

** (journal.py:2637): WARNING **: 07:12:54.144: Failed to load shared library 'libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37' referenced by the typelib: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

** (journal.py:2637): WARNING **: 07:12:54.144: Failed to load shared library 'libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18' referenced by the typelib: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This was the error I had before i updated guix. Both of these shared
libraries are in the environment's $LIBRARY_PATH.

Thanks again,
-Jesse

It is quite common that software is hardcoded to expect the libraries in 
certain paths e.g. /usr/lib or whatever. I suggest you substitute the 
path in journal.py to help it find the libraries.
