Failed to build snap with Pipewire

snapcraft
1

Hello, In last week I tried to migrate my snap to GTK4, Gnome 40 and Core 22 I face issue but @popey help me solve it

now I’m facing the following issue when initialize pipewire

[E] pw.loop [loop.c:86 pw_loop_new()] 0x557969229520: can't make support.system handle: No such file or directory

as I understand pipewire wasn’t included or similar issue:

my snapcraft.yml is following: https://github.com/xlmnxp/blue-recorder/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml and I tried to add

  pipewire:
    source: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/archive/0.3.32/pipewire-0.3.32.tar.gz
    plugin: meson
    meson-parameters:
      - --prefix=/usr
      - --buildtype=release
      - --strip
      - -Dalsa=disabled
      - -Dpipewire-alsa=disabled
      - -Djack=disabled
      - -Dpipewire-jack=disabled
      - -Dsession-managers=[]
    build-packages:
      - pkg-config
      - libdbus-1-dev
      - libpulse-dev
    prime:
      - usr/lib/*/pipewire-*
      - usr/lib/*/spa-*
      - usr/lib/*/libpipewire*.so*
      - usr/share/pipewire

and that didn’t solve the issue and I got:

Well, you stage libpipewire and gstreamer-pipewire from the archive in your blue-recorder part already, then you add another part to build it from a newer upstream source, that can not work…

You could try to remove the staged libs and use an after statement in the blue-recorder part so it gets linked against the upstream libs you built…

5

when I removed the packages from stage I got

domain: gst_parse_error, code: 1, message: "no element \"pipewiresrc\""
6

you might need to extend GST_PLUGIN_PATH or GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH to point to your self-built gstreamer sink/source binary …

For what it is worth, we’re looking at adding Pipewire to the gnome-42-2204 snap:

https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-sdk/pull/186

https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft-desktop-integration/pull/20

If you want to get something working before that, the parts relevant to you would be setting the PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR, PIPEWIRE_MODULE_DIR, and SPA_PLUGIN_DIR environment variables. Those are necessary to use libpipewire if it is installed to a prefix different to what it was configured with when building.
