Greetings,
i have a well developed app, TdhCAD, that is currently distributed as a zip file downloaded from tdhcad.com. i want to distribute using snap. i will much appreciate advice on how to accomplish this most easily. i have attempted to follow a template with the following yaml file:
name: tdhcad
version: 181224
summary: TdhCAD - vector graphics, charts
description: >
TdhCAD is a vector grpahics and charting app with raster backgrounds,
layers and open database storage. It can also serve as an embedded vector graphics
package for other apps.
grade: devel
confinement: devmode
parts:
tdhcad:
plugin: dump
source: TdhCad_linux64.zip
apps:
tdhcad:
command: tdhcad
my current stumbling block is locating the zip file so it will be found during the build process, but i’m sure there will be other challenges that maybe other can foresee. the app is dependent on the following items in the zip file, along with a wxwidgets installation:
an executable file
an executable library
a database structure
a pdf help file
