[HELP] Packaging mupdf

[Pierre-Henry F.]

Hello,

I'm trying to learn how to package code using Guix and packaging

mupdf doing do. I need some help to continue.

I've followed packaging tutorial for guix[1] and hopefully know

enough scheme (Racket in fact) to carry one.

The problem with the way mupdf is package today[2] is that it

does not include the patched version of freeglut that is

necessary for the copy-pasting functionality[3].

What does work is to follow the build instructions of mupdf[4]

which boils down to:

  git clone --recursive git://git.ghostscript.com/mupdf.git

  cd mupdf

  git submodule update --init

  sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev xorg-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev

  make prefix=~/bin/mupdf install

So, I guess that the objective is to somehow make guix execute

the above script.

I've been wondering around in the doc of guix w/o much success.

Is there anyone that could help me out? I can document the thing

and post it on my blog or give it back here for anyone to do

anything with it, should it be of some use.

Many thanks,

PH
