Hello, I'm trying to package network-manager-sstp (and its dependency
sstp-client), but I'm running into a weird error. I'm sure it is a very
easy problem to solve for someone with a little more experience with the
build-system.
>From what I can tell these packages should be fairly standard autotools
projects, but I have no real experience in using autotools neither in
Guix packages nor elsewhere so I don't know what I'm doing here.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me take a look at
the packages and help me build them successfully.
sstp-client is failing with the following error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./autogen.sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
error: in phase 'bootstrap': uncaught exception:
%exception #<&invoke-error program: "./autogen.sh" arguments: () exit-status:
126 term-signal: #f stop-signal: #f>
phase `bootstrap' failed after 5.6 seconds
command "./autogen.sh" failed with status 126
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Which is weird, since /bin/sh does exist, but it should also have been
told to use something else I think.
And network-manager-sstp fails with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
checking for find... yes
./configure: line 13451: syntax error near unexpected token `fcntl.h'

I checked the configure script in question and this is how it looks at
that location:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
for ac_header in
fcntl.h
paths.h
syslog.h
stdarg.h
stdbool.h
sys/ioctl.h
unistd.h
do :
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I don't know what is causing the syntax error, maybe it is the newlines?
Anyway, if I try to build it manually instead the configure script does
not contain these lines and do not fail at this step. I think there must
be some flag that is passed to autoconf that is causing this.
My package definitions look like this:
