(gnunet-gtk): (arguments `(#:configure-flags (list "--without-libunique" "--with-qrencode" (string-append "--with-gnunet=" (assoc-ref %build-inputs "gnunet"))))) Maybe also racket, at least libunique-1.0 appears in its definition, I have no desire to understand its meaning in there now. I'd like to have libunique available for gnunet-gtk, but I also have planned to address some further questions to other gnunet developers about dependencies I found in the last year packaging it, so it might or might not be necessary. -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org
