Well, I do not know if this example is really useful.

I mean, if one is able to successfully run ’make’ without running before
“guix shell -D guix”, then this person probably already know how to
provide the versions of the dependencies, I guess. :-)

Moreover, such failures are rare so once the bug report open, we can ask
more details if the initial report does not contain enough.

I propose to close this submission without applying.  WDYT?


Cheers,
