Hello,
I am still learning how to use gexps, and I thought that running this
would work:
guix build -f example.scm
with example.scm containing:
(use-modules (gnu packages base))
(use-modules (guix gexp))
(define build-exp
#~(begin
(mkdir #$output)
(chdir #$output)
(symlink (string-append #$coreutils "/bin/ls")
"list-files")))
(gexp->derivation "the-thing" build-exp)
This is a copy of what's on the manual for explaining G-expressions.
The guix build -f command should, according to the --help output:
"build the package or derivation that the code within FILE evaluates
to"
However, I get an exception, "Wrong number of arguments to #<procedure
7f775f854f00 at guix/gexp.scm:1064:2 (state)>", after a backtrace that
does not even contains example.scm.
What is going on? How do you build the derivation?
Best regards,
divoplade
