I haven't tried building it myself yet, but two things come to mind: Try using qtbase instead of qt, it has a much smaller footprint and will likely be requested when it's time to include the package in Guix. You're using version 5.12.1, and in Guix we have qt 5.11.3. It's likely the errors you're getting are because the version of Qt is different. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
