Hi Matthew,
I experienced a same issue with a mariadb build and I was able to find
root of the issue and submitted the patch to the guix-patches maillist.
Looks like everybody who updated guix between 2018-11-23 and 2018-12-31
was able to compile mariadb successfully :-)
If you want to work with
> "GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=./ guix package --install address@hidden"
For anyone reading all this on the web archive, that's supposed to be
"mariadb", then an at symbol, and then "10.1.33", without any spaces between
them. It seems to have come through fine in the mailing list, but the archive
program
I've been able to figure out a workaround, by installing mariadb 10.1.33.
Specifically, the version of 10.1.33 from commit
"5b4d2e40f1b2097c1f1ea6d1a0e701a1908011d4" of the guix repository, which is
from before mariadb was configured to run all the tests it does now. All of the
later versions (
Well, apparently something relevant had changed since my last guix pull, since
today when I finished getting some other stuff set up and did a pull, mariadb
is getting compiled fine.
Sorry about that.
