Re: guix build reports "unknown package" when building own package.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Hi Laurence,

Not an expert on GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH semantics, but they aren't relevant ‘yet’.  
You need to first fix this syntax error you might've missed:

>$ guix build my-packages/zasm
>/home/laurence/src/my-channel/my-packages/zasm.scm:2:2: warning:
>expected keyword arg

DEFINE-MODULE takes #:keyword arguments, e.g.,

  (define-module (my-packages zasm)
    #:use-module (guix packages)
    #:use-module (guix download)
    …)


Kind regards,

T G-R
