You used this process as a way to get access to the "snapcraft.yaml" recipe file.
And you tried to build it inside a read-only location. Snapcraft should install all the requirements

Here is what you should add.

mkdir -p ~/MYSNAPDEVELOPMENT/gnome-sudoku
cp /mnt/4/snap/snapcraft.yaml ~/MYSNAPDEVELOPMENT/gnome-sudoku/
cd ~/MYSNAPDEVELOPMENT/gnome-sudoku/
snapcraft

Snapcraft will use "multipass" to setup a VM, enter the VM, and build "gnome-sudoku". Finally, it will take the built gnome-sudoku snap package and copy it back to your host.

Same error as before. Here's the last lines, some obvious ones replaced with ...

I am using LXD as the backend, instead of multipass. And it worked for me, the snap package was created.

$ snapcraft --debug --use-lxd

I do not know why you are getting those messages.
I suggest to have a look at the page at
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snaps-officially-supported-b...
which lists the officially supported snap packages by Canonical.
You can file a bug report if a snap package does not build for you.
