Great!  Thank you for fixing the build process!  I have only 4 small
comments:

1) Your previous patches contained:

+  #:use-module (gnu packages sdl)

But it is removed in this one.  I think it was done by mistake when you
removed the leftovers of other commits.

As Leo pointed, you can use "pre-inst-env" script to run guix tools from
a git checkout.  See (info "(guix) Running Guix Before It Is Installed")
for details.

4) I looked closer at the licenses.  It appeared to be that the code in
"src/milkyplay" is under Modified BSD (bsd-3), and the rest is under
GPL3 or later (gl3+).

The rest looks good to me, so I adjusted your patch for the mentioned
notes and committed it¹.  Oh, also I added a copyright line with your
name to the beginning of the file.  Thanks for contributing!
