Ubuntu – How to use emacs instead of Ubuntu SDK to write Ubuntu Touch Apps

developmentemacsubuntu-sdk

I want to use emacs and console tools instead of Ubuntu SDK to edit and debug my projects.
Where can I learn about doing that?

You certainly can! The SDK is meant to make it a bit easier, but nothing prevents you from doing it yourself (and perhaps making it a step in your CI environment). Michael Zanetti wrote up a blog post about it here.

Sadly I do not know the full solution to this as some packages seem to be broken (at least when using a xenial container). However, one part of the problem is that the Ubuntu SDK is not in the main/universe repos, but in a ppa, so it is necessary to add the ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa personal package archive to the apt sources ofthe container. This has to be done between the creation of the container and the installation of the package, so the line has to be inserted into the script. The command to add the ppa should be

libertine-container-manager create -i $NAME -a ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa

Afterwards in my case apparmor failed at the configuration, so multiple packages remained unconfigured. I could fix it with a mkdir call in the SDK still complained about a missing mir plug in.
