Hi,
I am using the guix package manager on Debian.
I guix package --install-from-file-myapp.scm and during the install process I
would like to
(mkdir-p "$HOME/.config/myapp") and then
(system* (cp "/gnu/store/.../myapp/config.txt" "$HOME/.config/myapp"))
I launch guix package -i... from my home directory /home/jbs
I have tried
(mkdir-p "/home/jbs/.config/myapp")
(system* "mkdir" "-p" "/home/jbs/.config/myapp")
(invoke "mkdir" "-p" "/home/jbs/.config/myapp")
but get permissions errors. I can't even make the directory in /tmp...
I see the discussions on $HOME, homeless-shelter and the hacks in
.../scripts/environment.scm so I presume I cannot determine $HOME(?) but even
hardcoding my home does not work.
Is it possible during the make/install process to make a directory outside of
/gnu/store... and if yes how?
Thanks
Jim
