Re: [Install guix packages to non-default]: Unable to build derivation hello

[rohit yadav]

​Hi,

Thanks for fixing the linux-libre (I am yet to try). However, my other question is why linux-libre is required to build hello?

Thanks,

Rohit​

Ooh, there’s a bug here.  The URL should be:

  https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/file/linux-libre-4.4.18-gnu.tar.xz/sha256/0k8k17in7dkjd9d8zg3i8l1ax466dba6bxw28flxizzyq8znljps

(Compare the part right after “/file.”)

I believe this is fixed by 328f7cbe435d79d61f57129d9e3ee90404d6bfda.

Now, you can either build and install guix-daemon from ‘master’, or
simply make sure to do:

  export NIX_STORE=/home/royadav/opt/guix/local/gnu/store

in the environment where guix-daemon runs.

If you’re using systemd, I guess you can add this setting in the unit
file.

Once you’ve done that, you should be able to download this tarball from
mirror.hydra.gnu.org transparently.

HTH!
