guix 2023-01-20
hi, I just joined the channel and guix. currently evaluating to build developer environments for work and personal use
I'm doing the same, but progressing slowly
have any work to share?
I started with making a package for babashka - binary build
just posted on #babashka
yeah, no matter how easy the guix people make it sound, it's not - even if you do know lisp
I spent a few hours / days ?! waching youtube videos on guix - to get to know the technology
there are guix irc channels (I joined via Matrix - never liked IRC - no history, no threads - bleah )
there is nonguix
there is a pacakge search https://toys.whereis.xn--q9jyb4c/
I plan to package binary stuff until I can get enough to do my day to day work
and then try for reproducible builds
a good start might be https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2018/a-packaging-tutorial-for-guix/
I'd like to get a good emacs pgtk 29 latest package to start with
when I try to repoint the current emacs-next at the latest emacs-29 branch none of the native compilation works
not that advanced
and for emacs I can wait since I use only org mode
should be simple right? guix install emacs-next-pgtk --with-branch=emacs-next-pgtk=emacs-29 should do it
or rather, should be easy
I know my problem is PEBCAK. I just don't have the time to RTFM 😄
I'm new to guix so if you are hopeing for any help I will dissapoint
lol, same here really
nice to see a small example of how to do a package like that. I think my problem is I've been drowning in docs and not sure how to do a simple thing like that (there are some emacs things I need to do and I'd like more control over the clojure packages as well)
@drewverlee: this guy might have some hints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er2NaeoF3Ho&ab_channel=AndrewTropin . He has some other videos on his channel that are worth watching IMO
Ty ill take a look.
