As discussed on #guix on IRC, several folks including myself ran into
issues getting the following some-file.tex:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Hello friends
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
... to typeset with the following manifest.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(specifications->manifest
'("texlive-base"
"texlive-fonts-ec"
"texlive-amsfonts"
"texlive-fira"
"texlive-inconsolata"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
... with command:
`guix shell --pure coreutils grep sed gawk -m manifest.scm -- pdflatex some-file
Note that the monolithic texlive seems to work:
`guix shell --pure coreutils grep sed gawk texlive -- pdflatex some-file'
On IRC, rekado /w strace identified that texlive does not seem to be
entering the subdirectory containing the font files, as it seems to be
loading texlive-bin's texmf.cnf, instead of the one generated by
`(@ (guix profiles) texlive-configuration)'.
It seems some of the talks in the guix-maintenance repository can
currently also not be built for the same or similar reason.
