This adds 'cinnamon-desktop', the start for Cinnamon.

I ran into problems building muffin afterwards, not related to
this package.

+              (and (system* "glib-gettextize" "--force" "--copy")
+                   (system* "intltoolize" "--force" "--copy" "--automake")
+                   (system* "autoreconf" "--verbose" "--force" "--install"))))))))

As far as I remember I tried to work around with this
on the PYTHON=python2 ./automake.sh --some --configure --parameters; make
system Cinnamon uses.

It could probably be shortened to:

+              (and (system* "glib-gettextize")
+                   (system* "intltoolize")
+                   (system* "autoreconf" "-vfi"))…

What do you think?

Hey ng0,

I don't know much about Cinnamon, is there a way I could test this
package, or is it not much use until more cinnamon related packages
are added? 

guix lint resports some issues:

gnu/packages/cinnamon.scm:38:2: cinnamon-desktop <at> 3.4.2: 'glib:bin' should probably be a native input
gnu/packages/cinnamon.scm:82:14: cinnamon-desktop <at> 3.4.2: synopsis should not start with the package name
gnu/packages/cinnamon.scm:38:2: cinnamon-desktop <at> 3.4.2: trailing white space on line 60

Thanks,

Chris

As far as I know it's not much use until more of Cinnamon is added.
Why I didn't include more is a bug report I filed at upstream. As I got
no response it's up to myself to do some more reading into Cinnamon itself
to understand the way they build it. The first obvious attempts failed,
but lots of things I work on have a long history already.

We can only start to correct things at the foundation when we have the
architecture to realize it doesn't fit. Right now I believe that building
without errors is the best we can do.

Okay, thanks I'll send fixes within the next 7 days.

Great :) I've tweaked the description a bit, I hope you don't mind, and
pushed this now.

I put "The" at the start of the description, as this looked neater to
me than capitalising cinnamon. I also removed the bit about
cinnamon-about, as I think this is an error in the upstream README. The
package doesn't look to contain any such program, and ooking at the git
history, I think it came across from Gnome and was simply renamed,
even though it probably didn't exist in the repository...
