clang-tools-extra has been moved to a separate "extra" output due to the size of the statically linked binaries. Unfortunately, this prevents tools from finding the header files stored in the default clang "out" output: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix describe Generation 1 Feb 08 2022 14:30:38 (current) guix 59892f1 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: 59892f105585a98bcaaa4abc99142944cb171acf $ cat main.cpp #include int main() { std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl; return 0; } $ guix shell clang clang:extra $ clang-tidy main.cpp -- 1776 warnings and 1 error generated.
