The problem here is that “substitute*” expects regular expressions and
“$”, “(”, “)”, and “.” all have special meaning in a regular expression
context, so they need to be escaped. Escaping is done with a backslash,
but using a backslash in a string in Guile requires another layer of
escaping, so we end up with this expression:
(add-before 'check 'skip-test
(lambda _
(substitute* "tests/Makefile"
(("include \\$\\(SRC_PATH\\)/tests/fate/lavf-container.mak") ""))
#t))
(I did not escap the dot here because it can only match a single
character, a literal dot in this case.)
