Granite 5.2.2 issue

snapcraft
1

My build of EasySSH is failing while running the granite part. I followed the steps of other applications that also use this library and the recent step-by-step to create an Akira Snap, which also uses the granite library, but does not work. Returns the following error:

Skipping pull desktop-gnome-platform (already ran)

Are you using the snapcraft snap for this?

3

I’m running as follows:

SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=lxd snapcraft cleanbuild --debug

4

It seems you are not using the snap, as cleanbuild is not really supported and the only way to build outside our prescribed environment for base: core18 is to use the snapcraft snap (snap install snapcraft).

5

I install snap snapcraft and run again:

muriloventuroso@muriloventuroso-X510UR:~/Dev/Vala/easyssh$ SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=lxd snapcraft

6

are you running snapcraft inside lxd?

7

I’m trying to run in several ways:

snapcraft
snapcraft cleanbuild
SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=lxd snapcraft
SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=lxd snapcraft cleanbuild

Neither of these ways worked.

8

I’m asking about the environment in which you are running snapcraft itself (as opposed to what you’re trying to run with snapcraft).

9

yes, i am running inside lxd

10

This is mostly an experimenters implementation detail, please do not use it and rely instead on the CLI syntax. The values, such as lxd which you used, can come and go at any time (as is the case for lxd)

11

Okay, I stopped lxd and just ran the snapcraft command, I got the same error at the beginning of the post.

12

I’ll try to run the snapcraft on a clean install, sometimes I left some dirt by the way
