It implements +the build procedure used by @uref{https://julialang.org/, julia} packages, +which essentially is similar to running @command{julia -e 'using Pkg; +Pkg.add(package)'} in an environment where @code{JULIA_LOAD_PATH} contains the +paths to all Julia package inputs.

It's usually a line of @code{const +variable = /gnu/store/libary.so} for each dependency, plus a void function +@code{check_deps() = nothing}. + +Some older packages that aren't using @file{Package.toml} yet, will require +this file to be created, too. The function @code{julia-create-package-toml} +helps creating the file. You need to pass the outputs and the source of the +package, it's name (the same as the @code{file-name} parameter), the package +uuid, the package version, and a list of dependencies specified by their name +and their uuid. +@end defvr + @defvr {Scheme Variable} minify-build-system This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system minify)}. It implements a minification procedure for simple JavaScript packages. |
