Snapd on clearlinux

snapd
1

I’ve built snapd on clearlinux, and I was having trouble with an error:

cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory

I googled for a few hours and found someone with a similar problem that had an unknown OS in their /etc/os-release so I changed my os-release id from clear-linux-os to archlinux and rebooted.

Now everything works fine.

Any suggestions on a better way to fix this?

For reference, the contents of os-release:

NAME="Clear Linux OS"
VERSION=1
ID=clear-linux-os
ID_LIKE=clear-linux-os
VERSION_ID=30110
PRETTY_NAME="Clear Linux OS"
ANSI_COLOR="1;35"

Hey

Could you please share the build-depends? I was trying to do this a while ago but got stuck getting the right autotools packages installed.

To build snapd on clear linux I had to add the bundles: go-basic devpkg-libseccomp kvm-host-dev

also, be careful messing with your os-release file. make a backup if you’re going to change it, as it breaks swupd

Hi guys,

Could you please help me with building snapd on clearlinux.
I’m stuck on this step from HACKING.md file:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/snapd --enable-nvidia-biarch --with-host-arch-triplet=x86_64-generic-linux

I got this error:

configure: error: Package requirements (libapparmor) were not met:

No package ‘libapparmor’ found

After this I’m built and install libapparmor from the sources.
But I still get the same error.

Anyone who successfully build snapd on clearlinux can help me with this step?

IIRC Clear Linux does not supprot AppArmor and has no /usr/lib/<triplet> like Debian distros do. Your chances are better if you start with the same flags as Fedora, --merged-usr --disable-apparmor --enable-nvidia-biarch
