Hello,

I have recently (re-)installed Guix, and I am trying to package Jekyll so
that I can build my website on this system. I used `guix import gem` to get
started, and then repeated the process for a number of it's dependencies.
Now when I try to build it (with `guix package -f jekyll.scm`) I get the
following error:

Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS

To me, this sounds like I'm using too much RAM. However, I don't understand
how package definitions could cause that problem, unless the source code
was too big or something equally absurd. Here's my current package
definition:

(define ruby-jekyll (package
  (name "ruby-jekyll")
  (version "3.6.2")
  (source
    (origin
      (method url-fetch)
      (uri (rubygems-uri "jekyll" version))
      (sha256
        (base32
          "0rgdml6ypwwxrwv4dk2r8v9vp0ch3c060f6svhxggvk31w9k5lki")

I tried to reproduce this locally, but I couldn't build it due to
missing dependencies.  Can you attach a patch that applies cleanly to
master, or a file that contains package definitions for all of the
dependencies that are not yet packaged, or more detailed instructions?

I haven't used any of the importers yet, so I'm not sure how to use it.
Are you supposed to invoke "guix import gem foo" from a Guix checkout?

Thank you,
-- 
Chris

IIRC it’s a warning, not an error, but it has to do with Guile consuming
too much memory, indeed.

It shouldn’t happen when all the package .scm files have been compiled.
Is it the case?

HTH,
Ludo’.

Thanks for the prompt replies,

Ludovic: I have one file, jekyll.scm, which contains jekyll and it's
dependencies, and the only thing I do to it is run `guix package -f
jekyll.scm`. I had assumed that this command would take care of things like
compiling the packages. Is this not the case?

Chris: I probably should've sent the whole file the first time, I was just
worried that a wall of text would be unapproachable. Here's the full file:

It’s definitely the case.

The problem in the file you posted can be seen by running:

  guix graph -e '(load "/tmp/jekyll.scm")' | dot -Tps > t.ps
  evince t.ps

This shows that there’s a cycle: ‘ruby-jekyll’ depends on itself.  This
triggers an infinite loop in Guix (ideally it would diagnose this and
error out.)

The fix is to remove this line from the ‘ruby-jekyll’ definition:

      ("ruby-jekyll" ,ruby-jekyll)

HTH!

Ludo’.
