Not all the attached packages have the exact same cause listed in the
description. But they all have hardcoded paths at build time that don't
facilitate run-time relocation in a snap.
One answer is certainly to just build them differently when we include
them in a snap. But most of these work in a click context, so must have
some support for relocation. Plus, it would be a nice-to-have to
support just pulling them in from the archive.

Bug description:
Some apps can't find their main qml file. Error messages like:
"file:///build/messaging-app-gcXPE6/messaging-
app-0.1+16.04.20160831/src/qml/messaging-app.qml: File not found"
(in my case, the file was in /snap/unity8-session/x24/usr/share
/messaging-app/messaging-app.qml)
Seems due to code like the following in config.h.in. Probably needs
to consider the value of $SNAP or just be a little more forgiving.
inline bool isRunningInstalled() {
static bool installed = (QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() ==
QDir(("@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR@")).canonicalPath());
return installed;
}
inline QString messagingAppDirectory() {
if (isRunningInstalled()) {
return QString("@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@MESSAGING_APP_DIR@/");
} else {
return QString("@CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR@/src/qml/");
}
}
inline QString ubuntuPhonePluginPath() {
if (isRunningInstalled()) {
return QString::null;
} else {
return QString("@CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR@/");
}
}
