Hi everybody,

I am currently finding these two errors upon trying to build the
chickadee library from this file:
https://git.dthompson.us/chickadee.git/blob/HEAD:/guix.scm

I ran the commands:
guix environment -l guix.scm
./bootstrap && ./configure;

and proceeded to try:
guix build -f guix.scm --with-input=guile=guile-next

to no avail, thus the two errors received are:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/341595


Kind regards,
ryan

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for the late reply!

FTR the Automake test failure here is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ERROR: t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap - missing test plan
ERROR: t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap - exited with status 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Apparently this failure happens only when guile <at> 2.0 is replaced by
guile <at> 2.2 in Automake’s dependency graph.  This is surprising given that
Guile is just an indirect dependency of Automake, via ‘autoconf-wrapper’:

Current master doesn’t have this problem (and it uses guile <at> 2.2), so
closing this old bug.
