Ideally upstreams would be made more relocatable, but that shouldn't be a requirement to get it snapped.
The short-term workaround is as Zygmunt mentioned-- use /snap/<name>/current in the prefix and organize. This is not a long-term solution as this path may not be consistent long-term, either due to future snapd developments or even snap renames. On the snapcraft side we can improve things by creating a part that utilizes LD_PRELOAD and can be used by such unrelocatable projects. This is not a silver bullet as it doesn't work in all cases, but it will be an improvement. We'll try to re-prioritize our tasking to get to this sooner rather than later. It may also be possible to deal with some of this pain with bind mounts in snap-confine, but that's more Zygmunt's area of expertise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583250 Title: upstream use of build-time defined DATADIR incompatible with snaps relocation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1583250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
