Is this possible somehow? You should be able to use “guix build foo --with-source=./foo” (note that the directory name must match the package name). https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Package-Transformation-Options.html > The manual suggests that a package source could be something else than > an origin object, such as a local-file, but I cannot get even > local-file to work. It should work (you must import (guix gexp) to get ‘local-file’). Can you share what errors you got? HTH, Ludo’.
