Where is defined the symbol ’perl-expect’?

Then I get this, which means that it also depends on Python.  See in the log:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `patch-generated-file-shebangs'

[...]

patch-shebang: ./tests/wvtool: warning: no binary for interpreter `python3' found in $PATH
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Adding Python in the ’inputs’ list, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `check'
./wvtool runall ./novaboot.wv ./parser.wv ./expect.wv ./server.wv ./uboot.wv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./wvtool", line 131, in <module>
    term = Term()
  File "./wvtool", line 71, in __init__
    if os.environ['TERM'] == 'dumb':
  File "/gnu/store/9w9jvy3bgjg4qaqmrij01nbppiccqr7c-python-3.8.2/lib/python3.8/os.py", line 675, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'TERM'
make: *** [Makefile:6: all] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Note that I am not convinced that ’chmod’ is required here.

Well to be continued to have the package working. ;-)

Hope that helps,
