Hi Rochfort, Your define-module form has an error, so Guile can't load it, so it doesn't see the package. The "warning: expected keyword arg" message is trying to communicate this.
I'm on a phone, so can't give you a link, but any module in (gnu packages) will have an example you can follow. — Ian On February 13, 2025 10:42:36 AM PST, Laurence Rochfort <laurence.rochf...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hello, > >I've defined the following package at ~/src/my-channel/my-packages/zasm.scm: > > >(define-module (my-packages zasm) > (use-modules (guix packages) > (guix download) > (guix build-system gnu) > (guix licenses))) > >(define-public zasm > (package > (name "zasm") > (version "4.4.17") > (source (origin > (method url-fetch) > (uri (string-append "https://github.com/Megatokio/"; >name "/archive/refs/tags/" version ".tar.gz")) > (sha256 > (base32 > "08zif7j3lgj9x4ywpaa44ziq9xhin737vnra9knasdfdrn925wcq")))) > (build-system gnu-build-system) > (synopsis "zasm - Z80, 8080 and Z180 assembler") > (description "zasm is an assembler for the Z80 CPU.
