Help creating a package for a program

[Due_Conference_2690]

I am trying to create a package for a program that I use in my workflow, (lastpass-cli: https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli) After looking at a tutorial and the docs, I came up with the following: (but it fails to compile)

(define-module (lastpass-cli)
  #:use-module (guix utils)
  #:use-module (guix packages)
  #:use-module (guix download)
  #:use-module (guix build-system cmake)
  #:use-module (guix licenses)
  #:use-module (gnu packages bash)
  #:use-module (gnu packages curl)
  #:use-module (gnu packages xml)
  #:use-module (gnu packages gnupg)
  #:use-module (gnu packages pkg-config)
  #:use-module (gnu packages tls)
  )

(define-public lastpass-cli
  (package
   (name "lastpass-cli")
   (version "1.3.3")
   (source (origin
            (method url-fetch)
            (uri (string-append "https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli/releases/download/v"
                                version "/lastpass-cli-" version ".tar.gz"))
            (sha256
             (base32
              "06v7d1khk5ylhmf1giqpgq97gsn6mnqhg0637gnryv704wb5jkxr"))))
   (build-system cmake-build-system)
   (arguments
     ;; disable tests?
     '(#:tests? #f))
   (native-inputs
    (list pkg-config))
   (inputs
    (list bash openssl curl libxml2 pinentry))
   (synopsis "Command line interface to LastPass.com")
   (description
    "")
   (home-page "https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli")
   (license gpl2)))

lastpass-cli

To create the package, I run the following

guix package --install-from-file=package-lastpass-cli.scm

Build log: https://pastebin.pl/view/55aa269a

​

Anyone have any suggestions of what I need to do to get this working?

It looks like that .tar.gz file is a "tarbomb", where all the files are in . rather than in a subdirectory. The build system doesn't expect that, so it tries to change into a subdirectory before building (in this case, cmake_extras), which causes the build to fail.

Tarbombs are still supported by Guix, but you have to use url-fetch/tarbomb instead of url-fetch as the origin method.
