Thanks Tomas,
That worked. I also had to add a phase before configure to patch the
packages' gen-version-info script because it was in a location that the
built-in bootstrap phase couldn't detect. Then I could drop my bootstrap
phase too.

Hello,
I am trying to write a Guix package but I have to add a build phase to the
gnu build system.
I have the following package scm:

(guix git-download)
(guix licenses)
(guix profiles)
(guix build-system gnu)
(guix build-system python)
(guix build utils))

I need to call the "bootstrap" script before the configure phase. From what
I can tell from the log the bootstrap script is called, however I get the
following error:
INFO :: *** Gathering the list of data files to install
INFO :: *** Running autoreconf
./bootstrap: line 835: autoreconf: command not found
INFO :: *** Done!
phase `bootstrap' succeeded after 105.5 seconds
My understanding that the autotools tools were included in the "guix
build-system gnu" module. Is there some way I have to provide my bootstrap
phase with the autotools packages?
I believe autoreconf is not usually required for building packages from a
distribution archive. Try to add autoconf into a native-inputs.
For some background, this is my first time using guix and guile so I'm am
kind of banging my head through the manual but I got a little stuck here.
Thanks.
T.
