Dear Guix As I'm still in the process of setting up my environment, I am not (yet) able to write and submit a patch for package `direnv`, so I'm sending this report instead…
As mentioned on the `direnv` homepage, "direnv is compiled into a single static executable" [1]. As I understand it, this means that Go is required to build it, but not to run it. [1]: https://github.com/direnv/direnv However, in the package definition [2], 3 Go packages are listed as "inputs" whereas they should be listed as "native-inputs". Is this correct? [2]: gnu/packages/shellutils.scm As I said, I'm still learning. But I've tried, and here is what I've done so far… I've `git clone`d the repo, ran the `guix env… guix` then `bootstrap` `configure` and `make` and everything seems to be fine. Just to make sure, I did `./pre-… guix env… direnv` then ran `./pre-… guix build direnv` and everything went well. Then I moved the direnv dependencies from inputs to native-inputs and build it again… and it unsurprisingly failed! The error message [3] does not say much… at least to me! ^_^' [3]: output of `./pre-inst-env guix build --keep-failed direnv` direnv-2.15.2/version.txt direnv-2.15.2/xdg.go phase `unpack' succeeded after 0.0 seconds starting phase `bootstrap' no 'configure.ac' or anything like that, doing nothing phase `bootstrap' succeeded after 0.0 seconds starting phase `patch-usr-bin-file' phase `patch-usr-bin-file' succeeded after 0.0 seconds starting phase `patch-source-shebangs' phase `patch-source-shebangs' succeeded after 0.0 seconds starting phase `patch-generated-file-shebangs' phase `patch-generated-file-shebangs' succeeded after 0.0 seconds starting phase `build' make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

I've tried to read the rest of the package definition, but as I'm still attending Guile 1-0-1, that didn't help much! I would very much appreciate it if someone could point out my mistake!
