Hi Guix,I'm getting a build error for the `sdcv' package when trying to update packages today: ,---- | /gnu/store/x54lfn35qnn66hrrqfnwkii905kiws7b-glib-2.82.1/include/glib-2.0/glib/gunicode.h:809:34: error: invalid conversion from ‘const gchar*’ {aka ‘const char*’} to ‘gchar*’ {aka ‘char*’} [-fpermissive] | 809 | #define g_utf8_next_char(p) ((p) + g_utf8_skip[*(const guchar *)(p)]) | | ~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | | | const gchar* {aka const char*} | /tmp/guix-build-sdcv-0.5.5.drv-0/source/src/stardict_lib.cpp:1050:31: note: in expansion of macro ‘g_utf8_next_char’ | 1050 | gchar *nextchar = g_utf8_next_char(sWord); | | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ `----
I see that sdcv is failing to build for arch64-linux systems according to Guix CI (https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=spec%3Amaster+sdcv). A recent build for x86_64-linux systems is in progress.
In the meantime, maybe you could exclude sdcv from upgrading, and instead use the Guix time-machine to get it from a past revision of Guix where it is know to build. For example, running the following command:
guix time-machine -C good-sdcv-channel.scm -- shell sdcv -- sdcv Where «good-sdcv-channel.scm» contains the following channels specification: (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";) (branch #f) (commit "f1810c84f72090b02544ac41d0582c4785728ec4") (introduction (make-channel-introduction "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad" (openpgp-fingerprint "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))))I tried the above, and it seems to work alright. That revision of Guix happens to be the current revision I'm using. I wanted to get a revision of Guix used for a known successful build of sdcv from the Guix CI service but couldn't find that information.
Anyways, hope that helps,
