I know but I tought I would have taken a look

I don't know if I will ever be able to contribute

But the fiirst thing is that G-golf should have a guix.scm file and be
buildable with Guix. I see that as my step 0
Then, we'll see

What do you mean with "upstream" ?

I checked it out with git from the only repository that I know of

On which GNU/Linux distribution are you building it ?
Which version of pkg-config are you using ?

Can you make an ipothesis why pkg-config in my guix environment can't be
found ?

Maybe I should move this discussion on the Guix mailing list ?
