Sadly the Go importer doesn't handle Go module files on the CLI interface, but you can: a) use sed/grep/etc to get the package names from the go.mod files and feed them into guix import go -r (xargs can help) b) look into how the importer is implemented, it might have a go.mod parser in there that you could use. > and reading the Makefile I can also do this manually: > > build: > go build -v -o bin/nwg-look . > > install > mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/nwg-look > mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/nwg-look/langs > mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin > mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/applications > mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/pixmaps > cp stuff/main.glade $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/nwg-look/ > cp langs/* $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/nwg-look/langs/ > cp stuff/nwg-look.desktop $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/applications/ > cp stuff/nwgg-look.svg $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/pixmaps/ > cp bin/nwg-look $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin > > Which you could do this manually but it is not suitable in SDGuix. > Reading the documentation in the Manual and the Cookbook I could only > rely on small sample examples to which I could come up with this > ~nwg-look-osv.scm~ file. Just call make DESTDIR=$output install, you don't need to replicate the install steps.

Or just putting them in inputs might also be fine. Remember, Guix packages don't have access to the network during builds, so Go can't automatically download dependencies. > But I can't get it to compile and install, if I do it manually in a > ~guix shell go gtk+ xcur2png pkg-config~ and compile it on my own it > does but I don't know how to install it and create the manifest. > I don't have much notion in Go and packaging in Guix, but I guide from > all the examples of others packages, I tried to do it with > trivial-build-system but it was messing me up, if anyone has a help or > comment I'm happy to answer. Yes, it works in guix shell because you have network access and Go circumvents the distro packages. > Sorry for my english I'm using a translator DeepL It's quite alright, although I can't make any guarantees about how well my message will get translated.
