WezTerm Builds Succeed With Guix Environment Tweaks

A developer attempted to compile WezTerm with Guix and documented missing outputs, compilers, and libraries encountered during an ad-hoc build. They resolved issues by invoking rust:cargo, adding gcc-toolchain, pkg-config, openssl and GPU libraries, and using LD_PRELOAD to expose libEGL, allowing the binary to run. The post highlights interim workarounds and the lack of a Guix package, complicating reproducible builds for others.
