Hi, antioxidant-build-system can now be used for some ‘real’ software -- it compiles 'hexyl'. To test, download <https://notabug.org/maximed/cargoless-rust-experiments> (commit: d09fd93750ac6d77e0c85623286b45cf5c3b055b) and run "guix build -L . -f guix.scm" and then
$ cat guix.scm | /gnu/store/[...]-hexyl-0.8.0/bin/hexyl
> lots of coloured hex output
Some features of antioxidant-build-system:
* no copying source code of dependencies
* no compiling dependencies again -- old artifacts are reused
* all dependencies use the usual package input system
(native-inputs, inputs, propagated-inputs)
Limitations:
* no support for linking to arbitrary shared libraries yet
(only rust deps)
* makes a few assumptions on the source layout (can be fixed
by using more info from Cargo.toml)
* no tests
* no cross-compilation yet
* no shared libraries (just replacing 'rlib' by 'dylib' causes problems)
* code is a bit messy
* no cdylib yet (probably needed for librsvg)
Greetings,
Maxime.
