Does anyone know how to build snap for ARM architecture?

[XiaoGuo Liu]

Hi Simon,

Thanks a lot for your reply. On 15.04, I installed docker, and inside
docker, I installed a Ubuntu Server so that I can compile for armhf. A lot
of developers may not have the luxury to have two arm devices. I am
thinking your second option could be more realistic. I do not have a Ubuntu
Core device yet. So, the right command is:

$ snap install --devmode --edge classic

In this case, it enters to the classic ubuntu mode, rightt?

By the way, how to exit the mode? Previously, I saw some instructions like:

$ sudo snappy enable-classic
$ snappy shell classic
$ sudo snappy destroy-classic

I think they were for the 15.04 Ubuntu core.

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo
