I am only new to Guix, the most straight forward I found was to use the
`build-program' phase.
I followed StumpWM as an example[1].
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(arguments
(list
#:phases
#~(modify-phases %standard-phases
(add-after 'create-asdf-configuration 'build-program
(lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
(build-program
(string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out") "/bin/stumpwm")
outputs
#:entry-program '((stumpwm:stumpwm) 0)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This works to my understanding by inserting a `bulid-program' step after
the other build phases. It generates a separate asd file and evaluating
it with the `program-op' build operation is ASDF. There is no easy way
I could see to use an existing `asdf:make' presumably this is because
redirecting the output file is not possible.
The `build-program' method is declared in guix/build/lisp-utils.scm[2]
it also takes a `compress?' keyword argument if you need it, the rest of
the flags are pretty much automated.
