I have managed to get extremetuxracer and avidemux working via guix package.
Cool!
I thought it might be good to post a 'how to' for guix on flidas. Would like
to help out and unfortunately I am not a good programmer but could maybe add
to documentation.
I do have some remaining issues however.
1. extremetuxracer and avidemux or any other fsf install comes without any
icon or entry to my start menu. The programs also were not found as commands
from the terminal.
I finally found I could get them running from the terminal like this:
/gnu/store/ajxz0h6i3h3809di9qf8n7hjzp8g3gkg-avidemux-2.6.12/bin/avidemux3_qt5
of course, this part, /gnu/store/ajxz0h6i3h3809di9qf8n7hjzp8g3gkg, is
different for every program so it takes a little work to locate and create
the actual path for the command.
This doesn't seem very user friendly. Am I missing something? It's not a deal
breaker, will be fun to try to make my own icons and launchers, etc.
2. Maybe this is related, I don't know but I have tried multiple fixes for
this warning and still I get this error:
$ guix pull
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
ADFENO's point re authorizing substitutes was taken too late and first
attempts to install emacs took hours and guix was filling up my partition.
But I was able to add that step and after running the garbage collection
command the situation seems better: /usr is 4.2 GB, /gnu is 3.1 GB and /var
1.1 GB on a 25.5 GB partition.
