Execute configure script before running make on p2p

[crioto]

Before building p2p we need to configure it. For this reason configure shell script needs to be executed, which generates config.make file used by Makefile.
configure accepts two parameters:

• --branch=<branch_name>. This parameter can be omit - in this case configure script will try to determine branch manually by executing git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD. Also note, that for release (production) build we need to pass HEAD as a value for this parameter.
• --dht=<dht_endpoint>. This will set default DHT endpoint. Possible values are: mdht.subut.ai:6881 for production, 54.93.172.70:6881 for master and 18.195.169.215:6881 for anything else including dev branch.

Well yes :) I am not sure what the issue is though?

[crioto]

It's an enhancement for snapcraft.

[lbthomsen]

Well - if you switch the plugin to "autotools" it will run ./configure ; make ; make install so that ought to work. You can also specify customized ./configure parameters (see btrfs in the snapcraft.yaml.template)

[crioto]

So basically to make this work I need to modify this snapcraft.yaml.template? And what about docker image for tests? It is possible to use it?

[lbthomsen]

Yeah I just tested that - it should work as described at: https://github.com/lbthomsen/docker-snapcraft

If you're using Ubuntu just install snapcraft - that's better (certainly faster) but on an unsupported system the docker-snapcraft should work.

Simply - in your "snap" checkout run ./configure and then snapcraft (using script that call docker).
