Was trying today to build v1.5.1 in a Guix –pure environment. This was a bit painful to figure out due to defects in the build scripts. For starters, one build script does not properly recognize the presence of git in your path, so you must delete the following lines from include/prereq-build.mk:
$(eval $(call SetupHostCommand,git,Please install Git (git-core) >= 1.7.12.2, \
git --exec-path | xargs -I % -- grep -q -- --recursive %/git-submodule))Now here is a working Guix environment:
christopher@eowyn ~/Build/librecmc-lts$ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc gcc-toolchain perl make git coreutils grep sed bash which pkg-config binutils ncurses wget tar patch diffutils unzip bzip2 findutils gawk gengetopt python2 python file util-linux nss-certsThere is another bug in the build scripts that for some reason cannot see the runtime path to some of the ncurses libraries. Also, build scripts do not detect gcc, so:
christopher@eowyn ~/Build/librecmc-lts [env]$ pkg-config --libs ncurses
-L/gnu/store/gzp4ig4rdb1qf4i5dy1d9nl0zmj5q09y-ncurses-6.1-20190609/lib -lncursesw
christopher@eowyn ~/Build/librecmc-lts [env]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/gnu/store/gzp4ig4rdb1qf4i5dy1d9nl0zmj5q09y-ncurses-6.1-20190609/lib CC=gcc make menuconfig
I had a thought to patch the librecmc build scripts, and then work on a LibreCMC Guix package definition. But not sure how soon I will get to that.
