building snaps
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 8:27 am
For a bit of fun I decided to have a play around with building snaps with an eye on ubuntu core. However since I've never had anything to do with packaging software for distribution I'm a bit lost. TBH all the programming I do is the occasional webapp in flask and the odd script here and there so I'm in at the deep end.
Anyway, I worked through the super simple gnu hello "build your first snap" example and then thought I'd try something harder and picked google assistant. Since it's all available through pip I figured all I should have to do was create a .yaml that installed google assistant stuff straight from there at which point I thought I'd be able to add an "apps" section that allowed me to call some of the samples like "googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk".
Calling the google-oathlib[tool] does indeed work just as expected however googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk does produces this error:
I assume this is because the snap I've built needs a bunch of extra libraries to support sound but that's the limit of my knowledge. Can someone explain what's going on or point me at some reading material?
