[PATCH] gnu: Add GNU APL.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 187 bytes --]

Even though ‘README-1-prerequisites’ states that LAPACK, Gettext, and
Readline are needed, GNU APL successfully builds without them.  Would
you like to keep these inputs anyway?

Do Readline and LAPACK show up in ‘guix gc --references $(guix build
apl)’?  If they don’t, you can remove them.

As for gettext, please check in the log whether some of its commands are
actually run.  Normally, when using Autoconf + Automake, the source
tarball comes with .mo files, so it’s not necessary to have Gettext as
an input.

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

LAPACK doesn’t show up, but this line appears in the logs when it’s
omitted:

LApack.cc:410:2: warning: #warning liblapack not found or not installed. ⌹ will not work. [-Wcpp]

> As for gettext, please check in the log whether some of its commands are

I know nearly nothing about Gettext.  The only bits that seem relevant:

checking for msgfmt... /nix/store/1v42xk9j5hzbgxbh21pdp97ccd244hvl-gettext-0.18.3/bin/msgfmt
checking for gmsgfmt... /nix/store/1v42xk9j5hzbgxbh21pdp97ccd244hvl-gettext-0.18.3/bin/msgfmt
checking for xgettext... /nix/store/1v42xk9j5hzbgxbh21pdp97ccd244hvl-gettext-0.18.3/bin/xgettext
checking for msgmerge... /nix/store/1v42xk9j5hzbgxbh21pdp97ccd244hvl-gettext-0.18.3/bin/msgmerge

So you might want to check what makes it think it’s not installed.  :-)

OK, so it may be needed.

Thanks,
