The arguments that should be passed to the build system (@pxref{Build
Systems}). This is a list, typically containing sequential
keyword-value pairs, as in this example:
@lisp
(package
(name "example")
;; several fields omitted
(arguments
(list #:tests? #f ;skip tests
#:make-flags #~'("VERBOSE=1") ;pass flags to 'make'
#:configure-flags #~'("--enable-frobbing"))))
@end lisp
The exact set of supported keywords depends on the build system
(@pxref{Build Systems}), but you will find that almost all of them honor
@code{#:configure-flags}, @code{#:make-flags}, @code{#:tests?}, and
@code{#:phases}. The @code{#:phases} keyword in particular lets you
modify the set of build phases for your package (@pxref{Build Phases}).
