Needs fixes for cross compilation.

Still needs a service file for guix-daemon.

@travankor thanks! Will look into it.

It doesn't want to work for 32-bit stuff (cross build to aarch64 runs just fine). Probably some issues with headers and config binaries.

Would this trick work?

I haven't managed to make it work yet :/

The trick might have helped a bit, though, because it seems to be erroring out in a different place.

@anjandev if you'd like to take my guile3 commits from this PR, feel free to do so. I don't see myself completing this package, since I've now switched full time to musl. @travankor if you'd like to take this over, that's an option too.

It would be neat if guile3 could work with musl, but I don't have the time unfortunately.

@travankor guile3 itself is working under musl. If you'd like to make a PR with the guile3 commit, it's working for everything. It's Guix that doesn't work on musl.

@ericonr Interesting that guile3 works fine on musl, while guix does not. Do you know the reason why guix is broken under musl and if this can be fixed? My understanding was that guix was written entirely in guile, so if guile works, then all application written in guile should work.

Not sure :/

I believe guix simply doesn't know about musl as a target, so it couldn't get a proper configuration for itself. Since guix also seems to want / recommend some glibc features such as nss, iiuc, I didn't try to go too deep into configuring the whole thing.

@ericonr, @travankor

Are you sure? :)

@ev-ermakov

Nice! Did you install this from a Void template or from the generic shell installer maintained by the Guix community? This is on my todo list to investigate, but I don't have much time right now :/

If you have a custom template for this, then it would be nice to upstream it to the void-packages repository :)

@travankor
I compiled everything from scratch (without using xbps-src), following the installation instructions.

Here's the patch:

But, of course, this is not enough:
