Beautiful! Keep me posted, and let me know if there's anything I can help with.

I'm willing to work on this, it's a very interesting challenge.

Help packaging ArrayFire

[B. Wilson]

Hello Guix,

Knee deep in CMake hell here and would appreciate a helping hand. ArrayFire
build is defeating me:

CMake Error at 
/gnu/store/ygab8v4ci9iklaykapq52bfsshpvi8pw-cmake-minimal-3.24.2/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:3269
 (message):
  error: could not find git for fetch of af_forge-populate
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  
/gnu/store/ygab8v4ci9iklaykapq52bfsshpvi8pw-cmake-minimal-3.24.2/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:4171
 (_ep_add_update_command)
  CMakeLists.txt:13 (ExternalProject_Add)

Apparently, some of the build dependencies get automatically cloned, but I'm
unable to make heads or tails of how to work around this. The
`af_forge-populate` makes it look like it's related to Forge, but "ArrayFire
also requires Forge but this is a submodule and will be checkout during
submodule initilization stage. AF_BUILD_FORGE cmake option has to be turned on
to build graphics support," so I'm stumped.

I need this soon for a project and am willing to pay someone to take this over.

Here are the official build instructions: 
https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/wiki/Build-Instructions-for-Linux

In fact, there's a 2016 thread where Dennis Mungai claims to have successfully
gotten ArrayFire packaged on Guix: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/23055. However,
that appears to have never resulted in a patch.

Thoughts?
