Up to date lokke in guix?

[ieugen]

Hi,

The lokke version in guix is quite old https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/lokke/0.0.0-1.92d3637/ .
It uses guile 2 I think.

I tried to update the git hash in my local guix and tried to build with:

guix install -L . -K lokke

But it failed with error.
I am using guix on Debian and I am not very knowlegeable abut this.

Hmm, offhand, that looks like it's somewhere in guix with respect to pkg-config, i.e. maybe it hasn't even gotten to the lokke build yet, but I'm not yet very familiar with guix, so I don't have a great idea of what to expect. One option, if you have a suitable system available, might be to try to get it building without guix first. The README instructions should be correct (if not please let me know, and other than guile itself, there aren't many dependencies.

I did manage to build it following README instructions on my system (Debian).

Will ask on the IRC and try to update this on guix.

Thansk,

I managed to build lokke by using the guix from source and updating hash .

I've copied over the package definition to my guix channel and I've updated the git sha.
Seems to work in building the package.
