Re: Cannot build guile-chickadee.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Pierre,

There does not seem to be a more recent guile-opengl.  I have added
guile-sdl2-devel, which is built from the latest git commit.

I also updated guile-chickadee to use the latest version from git.
Unfortunately, it still won’t build.

I’d prefer to use only released versions in Guix unless it cannot be
avoided to use development versions.
