[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

The instructions to build and run the website locally fail because they refer to a "locale" directory, which does not exist (at least in my Guix System). It should be "locales" instead.

Best,

On my system, the directory is named 'locale', not 'locales'.

I'm not sure what's going on...

Hello,

No sign of a 'locales' directory here.  The GUIX_LOCPATH variable is
/run/current-system/locale on my system.  It only contains the locales
defined in %default-locale-definitions.

Running something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale  \
GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm                            \
                          -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale \
                          -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL  --share=/tmp                           \
                          -- haunt build
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

works for me.

In my case (using Guix System),

$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
/run/current-system/profile/lib/locale:/run/current-system/locale

Both of which exist. And there is also

$ ls ~/.guix-profile/lib/locales

The "~/.guix-profile/lib/locale" directory does not exist (why can that be?! I don't know...).

So for me, the build command always fails like this:

$ LANG=C GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL  --share=/tmp -- haunt build
guix environment: error: statfs: /home/yo/.guix-profile/lib/locale: No such file or directory

Building it with the command you provided, it fails for the same reason.

Building it changing "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" to "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales", it builds, but I see what seems to be character enconding issues in the output (some characters are replaced by a question mark). For instance:

copy 'static/base/img/Guix-package.png' ? 'static/base/img/Guix-package.png'

Then, running the serve command fails:

$ guix environment -CN -m manifest.scm -E GUIX_LOCPATH -E LANG --share=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales --share=/tmp -- haunt serve -w
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Backtrace:
           2 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/yzaxlqmiraznba4yf2cyqpyla9q?")
In haunt/ui.scm:
    131:2  1 (haunt-main _ "serve" "-w")
In unknown file:
           0 (setlocale 6 "")

ERROR: In procedure setlocale:
In procedure setlocale: Invalid argument

(I use "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locales" there too, otherwise it fails saying "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" does not exist)

I don't get it... The only thing I recall doing related to locales is installing both "glibc-locales" and "gcc-toolchain" system-wide; the former to get all locales supported by glibc, and the latter to get the "locale" command.

I'm closing this, since it is not a problem in the commands, but an issue on my side which I reported to guix-devel to try to get some help (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-05/msg00354.html).
