Tried to use to antioxydant build system, I cannot seem to add it as a channel but was able to clone the repo and authenticate it manually.. then guix build -L . -f antioxidant-packages.scm fails to run with error, ice-9/eval.scm:223:20: In procedure proc: error: rust-sequoia-ipc-0.26: unbound variable hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?
I think I am going to stick to adding libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually as it works even though I know you said its wrong. -- Sent with Tuta; enjoy secure & ad-free emails: https://tuta.com Jan 3, 2024, 17:57 by maxim.courno...@gmail.com: > Hi, > > Apoorv <apoo...@tuta.io> writes: > >> OK, it was my bad I had an older copy of guix.scm file I was passing >> that, it didn't have cargo-build-system.
