1. emacs can't build emacs.git's snapshot for some reason 2. I think let guile-emacs inherit emacs-snapshot or emacs-next is more reasonable, for guile-emacs is a kind of emacs-next.
By the way, when I use the below command: guix build emacs-snapshot --with-source=./emacs-snapshot-20151111.tar.gz to build a new emacs-snapshot, How can i install it? I can't find any help on manual.... At the momenti, i only use guix as a tool to build emacs-snapshot. but I find it is not easy use as evm, i have to switch back evm.
