Ahh, yeah, makes sense. I noticed that store path is different than the one for the glade package in my profile, so I thought Guix might have extended the glade package somehow... guess not. > So there are two options from here: > - bring meson to install libglade-handy.so to the libhandy package > - don't intall libglade-handy.so at all Is the former the usual method for providing libraries like this? If I'm interpreting this correctly, meson somehow found the path to the glade package during the build, and I'd have to figure out how and override that to ensure libglade-handy.so ends up in the build tree for the libhandy package? Assuming that's the case, am I correct in thinking that Glade (the UI editor) will then be able to find libglade-handy.so because it'll be in my profile? > 0.0.10 is out, I think we should package this version. You're right; I started attempting this before 0.0.10 came out, but whenever I submit the package I'll pull in the latest version. > I would change this: > (origin > (method url-fetch) > (uri (string-append > "https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/libhandy/-/archive/"; > version > "/libhandy-" > version > ".tar.gz")) > > to an origin based on git-fetch from a tag.

I'll adjust that. > By the way: Am I right in the assumption that you are interested in > the Librem 5? Yup! I saw someone having trouble installing libhandy in one of their chatrooms, and I was thinking it might be interesting to try and get some of their software running with Guix. (Who knows, maybe we could run Guix System on the Librem 5 once it's out!)
