In order to get you, or someone else, started, here is a draft for the
package:
(define-public cvassistant
(package
(name "cvassistant")
(version "3.1.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "mirror://sourceforge/cvassistant/"
"cvassistant-" version "-src.tar.bz2"))
(sha256
(base32
"1y2680bazyiwm50gdhdd4982ckbjscrkbw2mngyk7yw708iadvr7"))))
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'unpack 'remove-donation-banner
;; Remove dialog box with a donation link, as suggested by
;; the INSTALL file.
(lambda _
(substitute* "controllers/mainwindow.cpp"
(("#(define NO_DONATION_PROMPT)" _ line) line))
#t))
(add-after 'unpack 'fix-quazip-directory
;; Without it, build process fails with "fatal error:
;; quazip/quazipfile.h: No such file or directory".
;;
;; FIXME: insufficient! It fails later with "ld: cannot
;; find -lquazip-qt5".
(lambda _
(substitute* "models/resumedocument.h"
(("quazip(/quazipfile\\.h)" _ suffix)
(string-append "quazip5" suffix)))
#t))
(replace 'configure
(lambda _ (invoke "qmake"))))))
(inputs
`(("qtbase" ,qtbase)
("quazip" ,quazip)
("zlib" ,zlib)))
(home-page "https://cvassistant.sourceforge.io/";)
(synopsis "Job application organizer")
(description "Whether you're looking for a job or trying to help
a friend to find one, CVAssistant is a tool for you. It helps you by
preparing resumes and cover letters and organizing your job
application process. It:
@itemize
@item Stores all your skills and experiences.
@item Creates resumes tailored for each job you apply.
@item Creates cover letters summarized to match each job
advertisement.
@item Keeps a history of job applications so you are ready when you
receive a phone call.
@item Writes resumes in your language. All languages are supported!
@end itemize")
(license license:gpl3+)))
Unfortunately, it fails to build with "ld: cannot find -lquazip-qt5".
This is probably related to this part of the definition:
(add-after 'unpack 'fix-quazip-directory
;; Without it, build process fails with "fatal error:
;; quazip/quazipfile.h: No such file or directory".
;;
;; FIXME: insufficient! It fails later with "ld: cannot
;; find -lquazip-qt5".
(lambda _
(substitute* "models/resumedocument.h"
(("quazip(/quazipfile\\.h)" _ suffix)
(string-append "quazip5" suffix)))
#t))
I'm quite certain this is not too hard to solve. You may want to
investigate a bit further, or ask for help through IRC, etc.
HTH,
