[Snow fort](https://snow-fort.org) packages as [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/)
[channel](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Channels.html).
The relevant part of Guix manual is
[Additional Channels](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Specifying-Additional-Channels.html).
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:
<pre>
(cons (channel
(name 'snow-fort)
(url "https://gitea.scheme.org/Rinne/snow-fort-guix-channel.git"))
%default-channels)
</pre>
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 using Guix system on Guix shell environment variable **SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH** will be set.
To use the libraries add the environment variable into your implementations load path.
Example with Guile:
guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
guile --r7rs -L ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}
Example with Gauche:
guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
gosh -r7 -A ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}
Example with Sagittarius:
guix install snow-arvyy-mustache
sash -r7 -L ${SNOW_LIBRARY_PATH}
## Installing SRFI libraries
SRFI libraries are not yet packaged into this channel. See related
[issue](https://gitea.scheme.org/Rinne/snow-fort-guix-channel/issues/2).
