Hello all,
I'm trying to learn to use the Guix API to install packages so that I
can write a web frontend. However, I'm running into issues when trying
to create a derivation.
Here's a problematic code snippet:
(use-modules (guix derivations)
(guix monads)
(guix packages)
(guix profiles)
(guix store)
(gnu packages guile))
(define %store (open-connection))
(define profile "/usr/var/guix/profiles/per-user/dave/guix-profile")
(define manifest (profile-manifest profile))
(define new (manifest-add manifest
(list (package->manifest-entry guile-2.0))))
(define prof-drv (run-with-store %store
(profile-derivation new)))
The error:
ERROR: In procedure #<syntax-transformer derivation?>:
ERROR: Wrong type to apply: #<syntax-transformer derivation?>
0 (#<syntax-transformer derivation?> #<derivation
/gnu/store/mq7cx62…>)
I've been slowly figuring things out by reading
guix/scripts/package.scm, but I can't seem to get this part right. Does
anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
