Well, from my understanding, the failure is because Guix is not able to
find the module where your custom package is defined. And you have
various options, I think.
1. Via the option --load-path
2. Via a channel
a) Using “guix pull”
b) Using “guix time-machine”
1. Let say your custom package is defined in a Guile module located to
path/to/your/custom/package.scm, then,
guix package -L path/to/your/custom/package.scm \
-m guix/packages/manifest.scm
should do the job.
Give a look at: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Package-Modules
2. If this path/to/your/custom is turned into a Git repository, i.e., a
channel, then you can add to some channels.scm file and then run:
guix pull -C channels.scm
but I suggest instead to run,
guix time-machine -C channels.scm \
-- package -m guix/packages/manifest.scm
Last, you can put this channels.scm under ~/.config/guix and then “guix
pull” will load automatically.
Give a look at: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Channels
Hope that helps,
