I do not know, I have not looked at the details, but for example:

  tar -jtvf $(guix build ocaml-uutf -S)

does not even show a Makefile and the Guix package looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (build-system ocaml-build-system)
    (arguments
     `(#:tests? #f
       #:build-flags (list "build")
       #:phases
       (modify-phases %standard-phases
         (delete 'configure))))
    (native-inputs
     `(("ocamlbuild" ,ocamlbuild)
       ("opam" ,opam)
       ("topkg" ,ocaml-topkg)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That's why I find it weird to have to patch the reactiveData Makefile
to be able to install it.  I am probably wrong and Julien will correct
me with their insight. :-)


All the best,
