Install with --build-from-source failed during snap build
appelgriebsch opened this issue · comments
I try to build a snap for an ARM device that will host a Node.js API and use Leveldown as backing store.
I’ve transpiled and bundled my sources successfully, before handing it in into the snapcraft build process. The whole thing is using the core18 as base, and is working if I install the bundled nodejs (8.6) and node-leveldown from the Debian repos into the snap image…
…but as these are rather outdated I’m trying to upgrade to a newer Node.js version as part of the snapcraft build right now (12.20.1) and as such need to install leveldown with the option --build-from-source into the snap…
Everything I’ve tried is failing with an issue in the node-gyp-rebuild step though…
Here are my settings from snapcraft.yml:
base: core18
parts:
webserver:
plugin: nodejs
node-engine: 12.20.1
source: ./build/
override-build: snapcraftctl build && npm install -g node-gyp && npm install --no-save leveldown --build-from-source
build-packages:
- build-essential and the issue I get is this:

Does someone has an idea how I can solve or further investigate this issue ?
I'm not exactly sure but there might be some issues running this as root. See e.g. https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#running-with-sudo-or-as-root
Can you just try adding --unsafe-perm to see if it helps? I guess to both npm install commands.
OK, definitely seems to be an issue with the snapcraft build environment. Just created a debootstrap root, installed the necessary build-tools and was able to install leveldown with the build-from-source parameter successfully. Closing it.

Sweet. Good luck!
