I'm trying to create a snap for a one-file program in C. It links to GLESv2 and glfw. I have successfully produced the snap, but I failed to make it run. It doesn't even run straight from commandline, like this:

stopwatch

It omits this error:

bash: /usr/local/bin/stopwatch: No such file or directory

Turns out this was because I have previously installed stopwatch to /usr/local/bin and bash has cached the location. This is no longer the case and both stopwatch and snap run stopwatch fail the same way.

When I try to run it with this command:

snap run stopwatch

It does start, however, the program fails because it doesn't have access to video drivers, or so I understood from this and that. I tried to fix it by requiring xserver-xorg-video-all with no avail. Precisely, the errors are:

libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
stopwatch: /build/glfw3-KYdbSD/glfw3-3.2.1/src/input.c:493: glfwSetMouseButtonCallback: Assertion `window != NULL' failed

.

Here's the snap:

name: stopwatch
version: 0.1
summary: stopwatch
description: stopwatch
type: app
confinement: devmode
icon: stopwatch.png
grade: devel
apps:
    stopwatch:
        command: stopwatch
        plugs: [opengl, x11]
parts:
    stopwatch:
        plugin: make
        source: .
        build-packages: [libglfw3-dev, libgles2-mesa-dev, xserver-xorg-video-all]
        stage-packages: [libglfw3, libgles2-mesa, xserver-xorg-video-all]

And the Github repository. Really, I don't know what to do next. I tried flatpak, but with it I can't even make it to produce a flatpak.

Snapcraft forum discussion is going on here.

We found out that

  • The snap lacks gcc (which I think I fixed by requiring build-essential build package).
  • The snap doesn't build on clean Ubuntu 16.04 environment (probably because the program requires GLFW >= 3.2, which is only available on 17.04). This was probably fixed by changing the program's source to use glfwWaitEvents instead of the new function glfwWaitEventsTimeout.

I ran sudo snappy-debug.security scanlog alongside my program. Here's the output.

I tried making a snap with all plugs printed by snap interfaces. That is, I made this:

apps:
    stopwatch:
        command: stopwatch
        plugs: [account-control, alsa, autopilot-introspection, avahi-control, avahi-observe, bluetooth-control, bluez, broadcom-asic-control, browser-support, camera, classic-support, core-support, cups-control, dcdbas-control, desktop, desktop-legacy, docker-support, firewall-control, framebuffer, fuse-support, greengrass-support, gsettings, hardware-observe, hardware-random-control, hardware-random-observe, home, io-ports-control, joystick, kernel-module-control, kubernetes-support, kvm, libvirt, locale-control, log-observe, lxd-support, modem-manager, mount-observe, netlink-audit, netlink-connector, network, network-bind, network-control, network-manager, network-observe, network-setup-control, network-setup-observe, ofono, opengl, openvswitch, openvswitch-support, optical-drive, password-manager-service, physical-memory-control, physical-memory-observe, ppp, process-control, pulseaudio, raw-usb, removable-media, screen-inhibit-control, shutdown, snapd-control, system-observe, system-trace, time-control, timeserver-control, timezone-control, tpm, uhid, unity7, upower-observe, wayland, x11]

It still crashed the same way.

Successfully made a working flatpak. Maybe it will serve as a reference. Flatpak directory structure:

May I suggest you ask this exact same question over in forum.snapcraft.io? The regulars over there will be better equipped to answer you in full. – Chipaca Oct 16 '17 at 16:56
