I now found time trying this out. Unfortunately this does not do what I
expect. I do not need some string "(foo bar
\"/gnu/store/…-nginx-1.2.3/foo/bar\")".
I need the string "/gnu/store/…-nginx-1.2.3/bin/nginxctl". No gexpr, no
scheme magic, no string representing scheme code. But simply a string
containing the path of a file with the package (nginx in the example)
which I can assign to some variable (NGINX as shown in the example) and
then be used for other string operations (like when defining TEST in the
example).
I tried adopting your example but #~ always gave me a gexp, which of
course I can't use in string-append.
The manual says "Gexps are meant to be written to a file …" so I assume
"file-append" is the wrong approach at all
Could you please correct my above example?. Thanks.
