Dear,
As described in #43303 [1], the package gcc-toolchain providing the complete
GCC compilation toolchain is not easy to reach; even the manual has a
dedicated section [2].
Commit f17e1802ec325e5cc86d4908f05ac69aafdf39da fixes:
guix install gcc
which will install instead gcc-toolchain, the expected compilation package.
However, there are still discoverability issues, e.g.,
guix search gcc | recsel -C -P name | head
reports first the package libgccjit and second gccgo, which have both too
general synopsis and description. The 2 first patches try to improve the
situation.
Then, because the file gnu/packages/gcc.scm exists and the relevance scoring
function weights the filename too, the query "guix search gcc" artificially
ranks first libgccjit and gccgo. Therefore the third patch fixes this
corner-case.
All the best,
simon
