I really don’t know how to map it on snapcraft. can you show me an initial example on how to port it on snapcraft?

You can follow our workshop excercise.
ok. I have created something like this:
name: fireflyluciferin
base: core24
version: '2.17.12'

wget -nc https://dpsoftware.org/2.17.12/FireflyLuciferinLinux.deb
ar x FireflyLuciferinLinux.deb
tar xvf data.tar.zst
ls -la
ls -la opt/fireflyluciferin
mkdir -p $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/bin
mkdir -p $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/usr/share/applications
mkdir -p $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/meta/gui
cp -R opt/fireflyluciferin/* $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL
cp opt/fireflyluciferin/lib/app/classes/build_assets/org.dpsoftware.FireflyLuciferin.snap.desktop $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/usr/share/applications/fireflyluciferin.desktop
cp opt/fireflyluciferin/lib/app/classes/org/dpsoftware/gui/img/luciferin_logo.png $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/meta/gui/fireflyluciferin.png
I can create the snap, install it, and execute it. If I run the snap snap run fireflyluciferin
I can see the output of my program crashing because it lacks deps and permission but this is another story.
I can see the app installed in the app store but there is no icon and more importantly there is no buttton to open it. leave alone that my .desktop doesn’t added an icon of the app in the app launcher.
as you can see from the yaml file I copied the .desktop file in $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/usr/share/applications/fireflyluciferin.desktop and the icon in $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/meta/gui/fireflyluciferin.png
is this correct?
this is my desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefly Luciferin
Comment=Ambient lighting software
Exec=${SNAP}/bin/FireflyLuciferin
Icon=${SNAP}/meta/gui/fireflyluciferin.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Video;Game
You should probably omit the ${SNAP}
