Consider this deprecated. It's unreliable and even where it appears to work can break for what seems to be no reason when, e.g., cross-compiling. Modulo typos, and indentation being weird because 'phone, (arguments (list #:make-flags #~(list (string-append "HELLO=" #$output "/bin/hello")) #:phases #~(modify-phases %standard-phases (add-after 'unpack 'option-one (lambda _ (substitute* "foo.c" (("hello") (string-append #$output "/bin/hello"))))) (add-after 'unpack 'option-two (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))) (substitute* "foo.c" (("hello") (string-append out "/bin/hello")))))))))) From what you describe it sounds like you're using a phase, but I included make-flags to show that they work the same way. I used to prefer option one, but actually prefer option two nowadays, because it's less magical. >https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Extended-example.html#Build-system-arguments This should be updated.
