Subject: bug#46826: [debian] compilation from git fails
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2021 09:03:02 +0100

Hi!

i tried to compile guix from git but the compilation fails with a syntax error, details below:

- OS Debian testing (bullseye)
- guix commit hash 8ef1f24f16354e08f23dfabf11396527b0417638 (master)
- $ guile --version
    guile (GNU Guile) 2.2.7

The error is:

$ make

[...]

guix/scripts/environment.scm:752:12: error: (define manifest (if profile (profile-manifest profile) manifest-from-opts)): definition in expression context, where definitions are not allowed,
make[2]: *** [Makefile:6246: make-go] Error 1


A    kind     user    suggested    to    comment     the    form    in
guix/scripts/environment.scm starting at line 178:

------------
(when (and profile
  (> (length (manifest-entries manifest-from-opts)) 0))
   (leave (G_ "'--profile' cannot be used with package options~%")))
-----------

After commenting the form above, the compilation works flawless.

Hope this help!
Bye!
C.
