checking out a shebang-patched package source

checking out a shebang-patched package source

[brettg]

Hey all.

I am trying to compile the newest Chez Scheme locally from a git 
checkout. There are a number of shebang patches that have to be done for 
it to compile "traditionally" (not using the guix build --with-source) 
so I can generate a .compile_commands for my lsp to know how to 
reference headers and such.

Is there a way to get guix to modify those files that it patches on my 
local checkout so I dont have to go through manually modifying it 
myself?

It has been a few days, so I am bumping this. Thanks :)

Brett,

Unfortunately, I don't know how to solve your problem. However, I think 
that your question is appropriate for the guix-devel@gnu.org list, and I 
anticipate that you'll see more replies there.

Best,
Jack

I don’t know what a “lsp” and “.compile_commands” is.

No, there isn’t.  Generally, patches that are applied in a snippet are
performed before the build starts, so that you can get the modified
source code with “guix build -S the-package”, but patching shebangs is
done as part of the gnu-build-system build phases.

You can attempt to execute the procedures that make up the
gnu-build-system manually, but there’s no quick way to do this
automatically.
