Is the license field here alright? Here's what the LICENSE file has to
say:

Hello Jakub,

> +     `(#:make-flags '("CC=gcc")

It would be better to use "cc-for-target" here. You can check if
cross-compilation works by running something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu hashcash
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

Mathieu

Thanks! I had no idea this affects cross-compilation... I have changed
that line to be

     `(#:make-flags (list (string-append "CC=" ,(cc-for-target)))

instead. Does the rest of the patch look alright?

Hey Jakub,

Thanks for fixing the cross-compilation, a full review this time :)

I think you can set the variables INSTALL_PATH, MAN_INSTALL_PATH and
DOC_INSTALL_PATH instead.

You can remove "in a number of systems".

I'm also concerned by this line in the Makefile:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# request static link of -lcrypto only
LIBCRYPTO=/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We should maybe add "openssl" to the inputs and fix this variable
(that's what Nix does).

Thanks,

Mathieu

Unfortunately, the variables are defined with `=` instead of `?=`, so
the Makefile always overwrites them. We would also want to skip
installing the `sha1' tool like Debian does, since `sha1sum' is already
a thing.

From what I've read, openssl is not used by default, but only when a
target like `gnu-openssl' is used. I'll make a build with openssl and
benchmark which is faster...

Not if they are passed on the command line, see:

Note that systems means things like e-mail or bitcoin, rather than Guix
or Debian.

Firstly, the benchmarking code seems to be broken in Hashcash 1.22.
Downgrading to 1.21 and running hashcash -sv, I found that OpenSSL
is slower than another minting backend, and is not used by default.
I believe it would be better to not include OpenSSL in the package.
That's what Debian does, anyway.

I therefore propose only the following changes:
