Hello Guix,
I did run into an interesting (frustrating?) problem. I created
a
package that bundles few Guile modules of my making. I
installed it
into my home environment and wanted to use helpers from it in my
system
configuration. However I am not sure how to do that.
When I do
guix system build some/config.scm
The system builds and everything is fine.
However when try to reconfigure the system using
sudo guix system reconfigure some/config.scm
It fails with a very descriptive error of
ice-9/eval.scm:142:16: In procedure compile-top-call:
error: system-add-luks: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget `(use-modules (wolfsnet systems))'?
I managed to track it down to module from my package not being
importable. Since I have it in my home environment, all
non-sudo
commands work, however when I add in the sudo to actually
install the
new system it does not find it.
I am not sure what to do about this. I have tried to install
the
package into system, but that does not seem to have any effect.
-E flag to sudo was suggested on IRC, and that works, however
documentation does not use it so I am bit scared of various site
effects it could have.
Does anyone know how to approach this?
If you have a personal Guix channel, any Guile code in it gets
added to your load path. I use this to include helpers which ease
both system and home configurations, ex. this code for helping
with offloading builds[1], or home services to launch
jellyfin-mpv-shim[2] when I log in.
Perhaps the same setup would work for you, too.
Thanks,
— Ian
