Hello Guix,
I'm writing to ask how to configure Xmonad on GuixSD. I've got GuixSD
(version 0.9.0 ^^) installed and working in a VM, so that's cool. I've
also got the following in my config.scm:
(packages (cons* xfce
nss-certs ; for HTTPS access
xmobar ; added in my local git-checkout of Guix
openssh
ghc
xmonad
ghc-network
ghc-xmonad-contrib
%base-packages))
This is nice, because at the login screen i can select xmonad as my
window manager. However, it cannot compile my ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file,
since (among many others) it gives the following error:
xmonad.hs:35:8:
Could not find module `XMonad.Layout.NoBorders'
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Et cetera. I think this is because of the fact that ghc-xmonad-contrib
isn't properly made available. See the output of `ghc-pkg list` run as
my normal user:
/gnu/store/1iwl222h2qw80fyr578sdjdki0pbcjm0-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
Cabal-1.22.4.0

bytestring-0.10.6.0
containers-0.5.6.2

terminfo-0.4.0.1
time-1.5.0.1
transformers-0.4.2.0
unix-2.7.1.0
xhtml-3000.2.1
Notably, the glaring omissions are `network` and `xmonad-contrib`. Does
anyone actually use Xmonad, and if so, how did they make it work? In my
local Guix-git repository i also tried making all the Xmonad inputs
propagated but that didn't change anything.
Any ideas? Does this mean that the package.conf.d creation is
completely broken? Note that if i do `guix package -i ghc-network`,
that doesn't influence the output of `ghc-pkg list` at all...
Sorry to be a party pooper!
Ciao,
p.

This is a known shortfall in our current xmonad. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-09/msg00295.html
I appreciate the xmobar patches you sent, btw. It would certainly be
nice if one could configure their xmonad to use it. :)

It doesn't change anything because the current ghc doesn't know to look
in user profiles for libraries.

And the same for `ghc-pkg list`. I think the ghc-native-search-path
commit in the 'core-update' branch should fix some/most of these
issues. If you have some spare cpu cycles, then you could check
whether xmonad configuration works better on that branch. I just
started a VM build myself.
