Guix package steps

Guix package steps

[Daniel Pimentel]

Hi guix,

I tried create new packages (ipcalc, nmap, xfburn and others) but 
without success.

My steps (based on talk GNU Guix packaging by Andreas Enge):
0. Git clone guix repository by savannah;
1. Copy gnu/package/indent.scm to mypackage.scm in this same folder;
2. Add module to gnu-system.am
3. Download mypackage;
4. Edit mypackage.scm and add hash, license and other information;
5. ./pre-inst-env guix build mypackage -K
6. Erro: bash: ./pre-inst-env: No such file or directory

But there is pre-inst-env.in only. The script pre-inst-env not exist in 
repository. So where is pre-inst-env?

Thanks for help and sorry for my noob question kkk.

You have to build guix before you can run it.  See
doc/contributing.texi, especially the "Building from Git" section.
Also, you should pass --localstatedir=/var to ./configure.

I tried again, follow README file but there's a error (dot command?) 
when I run "make":

'dot' is part of the graphviz package, which is listed as a required
package in the "Building from Git" section that I cited above.

Hi Guix,

After:
-clone Guix repository -> ok
-Read README and install requirements -> ok
-guix environment guix -> ok
-./configure --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/.guix-profile/ -> ok
-make -> ok
-make check -> error: FAIL: tests/lint.scm

I tried again build (./pre-inst-env guix build ipcalc -K): guix build: 
error: failed to connect to `/usr/local/var/guix/daemon-socket/socket': 
No such file or directory

Thanks Mark and Guix team.

You need to run the guix daemon [1], but before create as root the guix 
builders [2]:

# groupadd --system guix-builder
# for i in `seq 1 10`;
   do
     useradd -g guix-builder -G guix-builder           \
             -d /var/empty -s `which nologin`          \
             -c "Guix build user $i" --system          \
             guix-builder$i;
   done

The guix-daemon program may then be run as root with:

# guix-daemon --build-users-group=guix-builder

Also don't forget to add hydra pub key as discribed in [3]:

# guix archive --authorize < hydra.gnu.org.pub

To complement what Amirouche wrote, please see

on how to report test failures.

Thanks!
