Yes, the guix environment works fine for me too!


But, when I run --version in the recently built one I don't get any reference 
to lua support.


$ /gnu/store/svn5hkyckw9gmcdhybs5599mcbrkydyx-sc-im-freeze/bin/sc-im  --version
Sc-im - version 0.7.0
-DNCURSES
-DMAXROWS 1048576
-DUNDO
-DDEFAULT_COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD_CMD="xclip -i -selection clipboard <"
-DDEFAULT_PASTE_FROM_CLIPBOARD_CMD="xclip -o -selection clipboard"
-DUSELOCALE
-DUSECOLORS
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
-D_GNU_SOURCE
-DSNAME="sc-im"
-DHELP_PATH="/gnu/store/svn5hkyckw9gmcdhybs5599mcbrkydyx-sc-im-freeze/share/sc-im"
-DLIBDIR="/gnu/store/svn5hkyckw9gmcdhybs5599mcbrkydyx-sc-im-freeze/share/doc/sc-im"
-DDFLT_PAGER="less"
-DHISTORY_FILE=".sc-iminfo"
-DINS_HISTORY_FILE=".sc-iminfo"
-DHAVE_PTHREAD
-DAUTOBACKUP

When the package is building and all the commands executed by the makefile are 
printed, there's no reference to any Lua flag that should be there like -DXLUA 
or all of those flags added by the makefile. So, it's working but the makefile 
is somehow ignoring the package or I added it incorrectly in the definition.

Thoughts?

Thanks you,
