Hello,
I finally got round to trying to build Guix again, this time doing a native
build rather than a cross-build. However, I'm attempting this on an
unsupported platform (mipsel), and it isn't clear what I need to do to make
the bootstrap binaries and thus attempt a source build.
What I've figured out so far is this:
tar zxf guix-0.13.0.tar.gz
cd guix-0.13.0
./bootstrap
./configure --with-courage
make
make install
This gets me the guix-daemon, but upon trying to do anything, I get the
following:
guix build: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'tar' for system 'mipsel-
linux'
I understand that I need some bootstrap binaries, and the bootstrapping
documentation indicates that these can indeed be generated as follows:
guix build --target=mipsel-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs
But this just gives the same error. And I am actually running on mipsel-linux-
gnu, so I suppose it might be different if I were try this on a supported
system - i386-linux-gnu, for instance - and thus generate the binaries that
way.
Maybe I have just missed the part of the manual that talks about these source
builds, but it really doesn't seem obvious to me. Another thing, which I've
seen mentioned on this list is reproducible builds. Might it be possible to
have architecture-independent source archives that reproducibly build the
binaries?
Sorry not to be able to figure this out for myself!
Paul
