I'd take a look at the file-name bit in other package sources that also use git-fetch. > + (build-system meson-build-system) > + ;; Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories > + (arguments (list #:tests? #f)) The cache directory bit is a hint, as that's often within the users home directory. The build environment uses a non-existent home directory, but you can change that. Quite a few packages have (setenv "HOME" "/tmp") for the tests. Adding that looks like: (arguments (list #:phases #~(modify-phases %standard-phases (add-before 'check 'fix-home-directory (lambda _ ;; Tests fail with: Fontconfig error: No writable cache ;; directories (setenv "HOME" "/tmp")))))) If you do that though, the tests still fail, seems like there's a missing font? starting phase `check' ninja: Entering directory `/tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/build' ninja: no work to do. 1/9 d2tk / Test core OK 0.09s 2/9 d2tk / Test base OK 0.48s 3/9 d2tk / FiraSans-Bold.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 >>> MALLOC_PERTURB_=67 /tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/source/subprojects/d2tk/check_for_font FiraSans-Bold.ttf 4/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Light.ttf FAIL 0.03s exit status 1 >>> MALLOC_PERTURB_=109 /tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/source/subprojects/d2tk/check_for_font FiraCode-Light.tt 5/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Regular.ttf FAIL 0.03s exit status 1 >>> MALLOC_PERTURB_=46 /tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/source/subprojects/d2tk/check_for_font FiraCode-Regular.ttf 6/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Medium.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 >>> MALLOC_PERTURB_=41 /tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/source/subprojects/d2tk/check_for_font FiraCode-Medium.ttf 7/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Bold.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 >>> MALLOC_PERTURB_=10 /tmp/guix-build-synthpod-0.1.6505.drv-0/source/subprojects/d2tk/check_for_font FiraCode-Bold.ttf 8/9 synthpod / LV2 validate OK 0.07s 9/9 synthpod / LV2 validate OK 0.07s Summary of Failures: 3/9 d2tk / FiraSans-Bold.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 4/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Light.ttf FAIL 0.03s exit status 1 5/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Regular.ttf FAIL 0.03s exit status 1 6/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Medium.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 7/9 d2tk / FiraCode-Bold.ttf FAIL 0.02s exit status 1 Ok: 4 Expected Fail: 0 Fail: 5 Unexpected Pass: 0 Skipped: 0 Timeout: 0
