Folaht's third attempt to build a package on Guix system - The one with a separate browser

Guix
1

Note: This is actually my first attempt, but since this one is difficult, I’m putting it on hold and wait until I have three other packages installed that I think are easier.

This package is called fetchit and it consists of two builds, a CLI and a browser, but I want to first start with the CLI and then maybe have the browser be put in another package or merge it in this one, depending on what is most suitable for guix.

Of course, I got some question on this package as well..

  1. I fixed two interpreter warnings of perl python3 missing in $Path by adding perl and python to native-inputs. What do I do withpython and -S interpreter warnings?

  2. I’ve got an error saying that fetchit-net requires ant-core. Is this a package nested inside fetchit ? How does one package nested packages?

This is where I’m currently stuck:
