Hi again, I've tried setting these variables in the environment but the same effect. How can I get "guix refresh" to work in the environment? I think this should be explained somewhere a bit more, because after reading the packaging tutorial and parts of the documentation I couldn't set up the development environment for Guix. A simple step-by-step tutorial or just list of things to do would make it more understandable. Is this already work in progress in the Cookbook? For example in this section: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html#Building-from-Git It is easy to miss the last step - running "make check", because it isn't explained that running "make check" is necessary to be able to run ./pre-inst-env. I thought I could just skip this and start hacking. It would be more clear if the manual or the cookbook contained a step-by-step list like this: Quick setting up the environment: 1. git clone ... 2. ./bootstrap 3. ./configure --localstatedir=/var/ 4. make check 5. setting certificates to be able to update a package etc. Jan Wielkiewicz
