Much to my surprise, I discovered I can avoid the problem by changing code for #:make-flags like this: ``` #~(string-append "ZUO=" #$(this-package-native-input "zuo") "/bin/zuo")) ``` to instead use `%build-inputs`, like this: ``` #~(string-append "ZUO=" (search-input-file %build-inputs "/bin/zuo")) ``` Is this expected behavior? Maybe `this-package-native-input` is supposed to only be used under `ungexp-native`, rather than `ungexp`? -Philip

Hi Andy, Andy Tai 写道： 502 Bad Gateway Thanks! Sadly, it's been like that for about a week now. You can use https://bugs.gnu.org/ until it returns. We are unable to SSH into berlin to fix this. Luckily, the other vital berlin services (Web site, CI, …) are still up and running. The bad news is that we have to wait for a physical human to plug in a physical cable, and no such humans are physically available (summer etc.). The good news is that this cable will connect to a management network that will allow us to remotely recover from machine lock-ups and lock-outs in future, without needing trips down to the data centre.

Re: boiler plate generation with hygenic macros in guile
Hi Maxime & Liliana, I just want to pop in and say thanks for your advice, its been helpful. I almost have the implementation down, but a few tricky bits I still havent got right... (what I'm attempting is a little more tricky than the example I gave here, which I shortened for the sake of transmissibility -- the goal is to be able to generate classes from dictionaries in an ad-hoc manner). Feel like I'm almost there, just a few bits to work out, but I won't be able to return to it for another week or so. As soon as I have it down I'll report back in detail in case it could help others.

Kernel module build error with system image cross-build
Good day, good people!
I've been playing around with building guix images for a beaglebone
black board that's been catching dust in my flat. I've been giving it a
go with the template from guix's git repository, like this:
guix system image --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf
~/src/guix/gnu/system/examples/beaglebone-black.tmpl
After a while, this breaks like this:
[…]

I am not at all familiar with how the kernel (and its modules) build au-
tomation in guix works, so I am not sure how to approach this.
FWIW, the host system in this case is x86_64, so this is a cross-build.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I agree that 'guix gc' deletes too much, but it's probably not

I believe 'guix gc' deletes items that are not garbage to me (but I am

Re: Garbage Collector
Hi, when I look at your: (guix-service-type config => (guix-configuration (inherit config) (extra-options (list "--gc-keep-derivations=yes" "--gc-keep-outputs=yes")) Isn't there at the end one bracket too little, to close up the whole thing? Because when I add that to my config.scm file the first bracket before guix-service-type appears violett in Emacs, but there is no violet bracket at the end which closes it.

Dual booting
Good afternoon, Could anyone please share a working configuration for dual booting windows and guix? I have to use windows for work, but use Linux for everything else. I want to put guix on my work laptop so I can stick with Linux when travelling (I am self employed, so there are no IT restrictions on my system). I have the necessary skills to put another Linux distribution on, but I want to use my spare time in the evenings when travelling to work on guix. Looking at the bootloader information in the documentation, it seems that chainloader is not available as an option. Many thanks!

If did that now (guix remove guix) and guix now points to /usr/local/bin/guix (as installed by the guix install script).
