There is not a racket-build-system for guix yet, atleast to my knowledge. 

I see we just got a chicken-build-system though :).

Is anyone working on a racket-build-system?

If no one is working on it or has any plan to do so, maybe I can volunteer in the future 😊  But I am still learning both Guix and Racket… 😊

(I am thinking of starting a “worker cooperative” that specializes in legacy enterprise software replacement projects.  Both Guix and Racket will be important tools of trade I imagine 😊)

I wouldn't mind collaborating on this! I could
share some of my notes with you if you don't
mind ...

Yep I am. But I've put a pause on it for
now. Couldn't really work out how to resolve the
dependencies--- Racket is stateful with how it
manages dependencies which has made it very
difficult to have a working buid system. Nix seems
to have, that sorted out, but IIRC it's really
inefficient...

Racket (require gregor)

[yasu]

Hi!
I am tring to use the gregor package using my Racket  program:
#lang racket(require gregor)
But it fails with fthe ollowing error:
Unable to locate the zoneinfo database on this computer. We searched
for it in the following places:  - /usr/share/zoneinfo  -
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo  - /etc/zoneinfo
There is a suggestion at: 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-08/msg00073.html of
installing tzdata
After installig it with: raco pkg install tzdata,
It did not help (I still get exact same error). If there are users of
Racket..., would you please try the same and see if it works for you?
Cheers,
Yasu

Damn HTML doesn't work😅

Hi Yasu,

Yes.  Please don't send HTML e-mail to mailing lists: most people 
don't like receiving it (e.g., sending me HTML mail is guaranteed 
to land you in my Spam bin) & you never know how your mail will 
appear to others.

Yes.  We have enabled both ‘convert text/html parts to plain text’ 
and ‘collapse multipart/alternative to its first part content’.

I get the same error, with the tzdata Racket (and Guix, just in 
case) package install.

If I manually add $(guix build tzdata)/share/zoneinfo to
pkgs/tzinfo/tzinfo/private/zoneinfo.rkt's 
default-zoneinfo-search-path, it works.

However, I didn't notice a $TZDIR-like mechanism to do so 
‘properly’.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Re: Racket (require gregor)

[yasu]

Thank you Tobias, it worked! 


I ended up modifying below section as shown:

~/.racket/7.9/pkgs/tzinfo/tzinfo/private$ nvim zoneinfo.rkt

(define default-zoneinfo-search-path

  (list
    (path->string
      (build-path
        (string-replace
          (with-output-to-string
            (lambda ()
                    (system "guix build tzdata"))) "\n" "" )
        "share" "zoneinfo"))
    "/usr/share/zoneinfo"
    "/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo"
    "/etc/zoneinfo"))


But surely this is not the way to do it in Guix...

I wonder if there is a proper Guix integration for Racket's raco
package manager?

A bit late for the party, but one way to do it
would be to run Racket in a container, and as
usual export the necessary certs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Create the container and expose the zoneinfo
./pre-inst-env guix environment -N -C --expose=/usr/share/zoneinfo --ad-hoc racket-minimal nss-certs coreutils libedit

export SSL_CERT_DIR="$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/ssl/certs" && export SSL_CERT_FILE="$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do things that way since there's a racket
program[0] I ran in a server; and it's convenient
on that regard...
