Will do that soon once I sort other things out.

I did successfully compile the game, mineclone2, and some other mods. Generally 
the game works, mineclone2 (a subgame) works and is visible.

About that, I can never see mods installed with Guix in Minetest. Is the build 
system really working as intended? I'm running the latest Guix. Am I missing 
something? I don't see the mods on the current version nor the latest I 
packaged.

I tried installing a mod by force installing it into 
"share/minetest/mods/modname" using the copy-build-system just like mineclone2 
is installed, but it doesn't work this way.

Any ideas what's wrong?
