+* Setting up GUIX profile for GN

+

+First create a guix profile with the latest packages:

+

+: ~/opt/guix/bin/guix pull

+

+This will create a profile with the latest packages under`~/.config/guix/current`

+

+Now you have the latest guix. Check: `$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix --version`

+

+At this point, it's worth mentioning that installing

+python3-genenetwork using `$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix` should

+work; but let's use the dev version(since that may come handy in

+time), and it's a nice thing to know.

+

+Next, we ensure that the appropriate GUILE<sub>PATHS</sub> are set:

+

+: export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$HOME/.config/guix/current/share/guile/site/3.0/

+: export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=$HOME/.config/guix/current/lib/guile/3.0/site-ccache/ 

+

+Get into the container:

+

+: $HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix environment -C guix --ad-hoc bash gcc-toolchain

+: ./bootstrap

+: ./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc

+

+Check that everything works:

+

+: make check

+

+Clean up and build:

+

+: make clean-go

+: make -j 4

+: exit

+

+Install Python3 (substitute paths when necessary):

+

+: env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH='/home/zas1024/guix-bioinformatics:/home/zas1024/guix-past/modules' $HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix install python3-genenetwork2 -p ~/opt/python3-genenetwork2 --substitute-urls="http://guix.genenetwork.org https://berlin.guixsd.org https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"
