Failed to connect to guix daemon socket in pure env

Failed to connect to guix daemon socket in pure env

[Jeremy Korwin-Zmijowski]

Dear Guixters,

On my way to create a Guix package for ac-geiser (
https://github.com/xiaohanyu/ac-geiser), I end up stuck.

Here is my process :

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
$ cd guix
$ git pull --recurse-submodules
$ guix environment --pure guix
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make

So far so good ! (Thanks to Andreas from GuixDays!)

Then I open emacs-xyz.scm and copy/paste some lines of code to create
my emacs-ac-geiser.scm. (Recently I heard about guix import so I will
play with it soon haha)

But when I wanted to test the installation :

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package --install-from-file=emacs-ac-geiser.scm
guix package: error: failed to connect to `/usr/local/var/guix/daemon-
socket/socket': No such file or directory

Any idea ?

(I am hacking on Ubuntu 18.04.4)

Is the daemon up?
As root "systemctl start guix-daemon".

Does the simple "guix install foo" work for you?

And how have you installed Guix?


Cheers,

Hey Simon!

Thank you it does help.

Now the process stucks here ("emacs-ac-geiser.scm" is my almost hand-
made definition):

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package --install-from-file=emacs-ac-geiser.scm

See whole log in attached "emacs-ac-geiser-v0.1.drv.bz2" file

The same error occurs with :
$ guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc emacs emacs-geiser emacs-auto-
complete

or even

$ guix environment --pure guix



To try from a different angle, I did it all over again with

$ ./pre-inst-env guix import elpa --archive=melpa-stable ac-geiser

I copied the resulted definition in "emacs-ac-geiser-imported.scm"

$ guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc emacs emacs-geiser emacs-auto-
complete

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package --install-from-file=emacs-ac-geiser-

Don't know what I can do more than the virtual env including emacs-
geiser already...

Sorry for flooding, but I realized that the issue I created this thread
for is solved so I should create another one to go on my next problems.

Thank you again Simon !

Hi Jeremy,

I miss why you need ./pre-inst-env if you build from a local file. The command:

   guix build -f /tmp/emacs-ac-geiser.scm

should be enough, without the "./bootstrap && ./configure
--localstatedir=/var/ && make" dance.


Considering the definition of 'ac-geiser' it does not build because
the dependencies to 'geiser' and 'auto-complete' are missing. It is
easy to add them:

#:use-module (gnu packages emacs-xyz)

and the field 'inputs'

(inputs
   `(("geiser" ,geiser)
     ("auto-complete" ,emacs-auto-complete)))

and you are done.

As you want. :-)

Hi Jeremy,

Let send you first contribution. ;-)

Well, now you should be to build your package, something like:

   guix build -f your-definition.scm

where the file your-defintion.scm contains the recipe of your package.

Then, the instructions about how to submit.

1. clone from savanah and go to the directory
2. guix environment --container guix --ad-hoc git git:sendemail emacs
3. ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var/ && make
4. add the definition in the file gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm
Do not forget: a) to add your name on the top (copyright) and b) check
the indentation (M-C-q using Emacs on the opening parenthesis of your
addition)
5. check it works, first by searching or showing it:
   ./pre-inst-env guix search emacs ac geiser
   ./pre-inst-env guix show emacs-ac-geiser
6. Build it and address the warnings
   ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-ac-geiser
7. Verify the reproducibility
   ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-ac-geiser --no-grafts --check -K
8. Lint and address the issue
   ./pre-env-inst guix lint emacs-ac-geiser

If everything is fine, let commit and submit. Look at other commit
messages to find inspiration :-) Roughly speaking:

  gnu: Add emacs-ac-geiser.

  * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-ac-geiser): New variable.

There is yasnippet for Emacs which eases the addition.

Last, use format-patch: git format-patch -n1.
And send it: git send-email --to=guix-patches@gnu.org 0001-Add-blablabla.patch

Maybe you need to configure your smtp in ~/.gitconfig:

[sendemail]
    smtpServer =
    smtpServerPort =
    smtpEncryption = tls
    smtpUser =
    smtpPass =


And if you are still motivated, you could add all the "first
contribution" process to the Cookbook. ;-)


Cheers,
simon

Awesome ! Thank you vert much Simon.

I would be please to put some effort in the handbook to ease first time packaging contributions. (I have a bunch of notes almost ready for it)

Ah no, I missed the common mistake, I guess.

It is "./configure --localstatedir=/var"

Explained here [1] and there [2] or here [3].
