guix/ui.scm:203 requires guile-3.0.3

I'm using ./pre-inst-env on my powerpc-linux machine, using guile-3.0.2

as provided by Debian. When I try to run the following command:

./pre-inst-env guix build -L /path/to/repo -m /path/to/manifest.scm -n

I get the following error:

guix/ui.scm:230:13: error: default-optimization-level: unbound variable

It doesn't make sense to gate this with (target-ppc32?) since it's due

to the guile version. If I had configured within 'guix shell -D guix' I

would be using guile-3.0.7.

configure.ac checks for guile 3.0.

(ins)efraim@g4:~$ apt-cache policy guile-3.0

guile-3.0:

Installed: 3.0.2-2be32

Candidate: 3.0.2-2be32

Version table:

Hi,

Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> skribis:

I’m in favor of updating ‘configure.ac’ to check for Guile > 3.0.x

(we’ll have to check which value of ‘x’ works).

But…

… are you saying that requiring > 3.0.2 would cause problems when

porting to other architectures?

In general, we shouldn’t be tied to what Debian provides, but we can see

how much of a problem that would cause. If it really is a problem, we

can adjust that one reference to ‘default-optimization-level’ in (guix

ui).

Thanks,

Ludo’.

Hi Efraim,

Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> skribis:

As you suggested on IRC, I went ahead and did that in commit

d582b399781f6fd80c63d07746524196603972e4.

Thanks,

Ludo’.
