Re: Howto supply cargo-build-system dependency to guix package definition

[Timothy Washington]

Thanks very much for your help. I got past that bit. Below is the config
that got me through it.

(define-module (guix packages rustscan)
  ...
  #:use-module (gnu packages crates-io))


(define-public rustscan
  (package
   ...
   (arguments
    `(#:cargo-inputs
      (("rust-ansi-term" ,rust-ansi-term-0.12))))
   (home-page "https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan";)
   ...
   ))


The build is still looking for a different package now (anyhow). But I can
find that once https://packages.guix.gnu.org/ comes back online, from its
outage, lol.

starting phase `build'
error: no matching package named `anyhow` found
location searched: registry `crates-io`
required by package `rustscan v2.1.1
(/tmp/guix-build-rustscan-2.1.1.drv-0/source)`



Thanks again!
Tim
