Snow fort packages as Guix channel.

The relevant part of Guix manual is Additional Channels. But here are short instructions anyway.

Note about dependencies

Only libraries which are in snow-fort and not (scheme ...) or (srfi ...) are added to the Guix package as dependency.

See the part about installing srfi-libraries for more details.

Add the Guix channell

Copy this:

(cons (channel
       (name 'snow-fort)
       (url "https://gitea.scheme.org/Rinne/snow-fort-guix-channel.git"))
 %default-channels)

Into:

~/.config/guix/channels.scm

Update the channels

Run:

guix pull

Installing packages

The packages have been prefixed with "snow-", and spaces replaced with "-".

So for example to install package (arvyy mustache) run:

guix install snow-arvyy-mustache

or:

guix shell snow-arvyy-mustache

Using the libraries

When you install a library it will be in path:

${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}/usr/lib/snow

To use the libraries add the installation path into your implementations load path.

Example with Guile:

guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
guile --r7rs -L ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}/usr/lib/snow

Example with Gauche:

guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
gosh -r7 -A ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}/usr/lib/snow

Example with Sagittarius:

guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
sash -r7 -L ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}/usr/lib/snow

Installing SRFI libraries

SRFI libraries are not yet packaged into this channel. See related issue.
