'core-updates': should we mention Graphviz in "Requirements"?

'make' fails with the following:

[...]

dot -Tpng -Tpng -Gratio=.9 -Gnodesep=.005 -Granksep=.00005 -Nfontsize=9 -Nheight=.1 -Nwidth=.1 < "doc/images/bootstrap-graph.dot" > "doc/images/bootstrap-graph.png.tmp"

The idea is that the images produces by dot are part of the tarball, so
Graphviz doesn’t need to be listed as a requirement.

That said, it would be good to mention it in the “Building from Git”
section that you’re working on.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Ugh... This just got me.

I'm running git Guix on a GuixSD install, having aliased "guix" to the 
git version.

So in order to run make now I first have to install graphviz using the 
non-git guix, since the dot commang is not present, and only then can I 
make the git right?

Cumbersome...

Right.  See

Ugh, and now the fun starts...

It seems you’ve been somehow mixing versions, and this error was
produced by a Guix version older than the one use to upgrade your
profile, hence the error (and it’s a Guix version older than 0.8.3.)

Please make sure to use the latest Guix, and you should be fine.

HTH,
Ludo’.

I thought I would not be able to install graphviz from the git pull as I 
ran 'make clean' when it wouldn't build, but alas the git guix still 
installed it, and now the git build is running.

How will I purge the older versions BTW? 'guix gc' doesn't seem to do it 
and this issue - the old version being used - must be due to the fact 
that originally I install GuixSD 0.8.0 but then have been working with 
the git version ever since.

The ‘guix’ command uses whatever code is pointed to by
~/.config/guix/latest¹, which is normally updated by ‘guix pull’.

You mentioned fiddling with that symlink manually, no?

Running ‘guix pull’ will update that symlink to the latest code.

HTH,

¹ Except when using ./pre-inst-env, which overrides that.
