Hi,

it will be easy for you to learn how to build a snap. You are just
missing one point yet. If your software depends on something else, you
need to integrated this to your snap, too. Actually you could install
all those dated dependencies without a snap, too. You could build with a
PREFIX, such as /opt and you even could install several versions of
foo.so into any shared lib directory.

Regards,
Ralf
