Hum? I think the version of this package is a bit old.
I am not sure it will just work.

Myself, I `git clone` the GWL repo then enter in `guix environment`
with some --ad-hoc packages. Then from there I use ./pre-env-inst.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
  guix environment \
       --ad-hoc \
       autoconf automake pkg-config texinfo \
       guile guile-commonmark guile-syntax-highlight guile-wisp
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
  aclocal
  autoconf
  automake
  ./configure
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure
  make -j 4
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
  GUIX_WORKFLOW_PATH=./doc/examples/ ./pre-inst-env guix workflow -r simple
#+END_SRC


Does it work for you?

The website does not seem down anymore.
Or you can use https://workflows.guix.info/
or workflows.guix.gnu.org

Interresting use case.
Could you elaborate? Or let me know when you publicly release your workflow.

Yes! Definitively :-)
