Hi the build was working before (back in February 2024) but now I get this error:
==> Starting prepare()...
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
Aborting...
-> Failed to install layer, rolling up to next layer.error:error making: flutter - exit status 4
Is anyone else getting this error? Does anyone know what is the full name of the "layer" library mentioned in the error?
@WithTheBraid I just got to see your comment in my emails. Sorry for no response.
Apparently, the underlying issue regarding that error wasn't because of the AUR package itself but because I had arch4edu repo added on my install. They forgot to update dependencies for flutter-target-* at the time, causing them to fail to install.
I had that repo added for not having to spend much bandwidth for proprietary packages like google-chrome-stable, but I found out that it's a no-go after this incident.
I absolutely refuse to use Chaotic AUR for prebuilt packages as I build linux-nitrous from its source with USE_MPERFORMANCE=1, which is a flag to enable mtune flag for the detected CPU throughout the kernel. This flag isn't in use on generic repos like CAUR to make it work globally on any system the prebuilt packages are installed on which means performance drawbacks, which kinda defeats the purpose of that kernel for modern hardware.
I apologize for the confusion, just wanted to clear that up.
getting an error: ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.
I tried installing stable dart-sdk 3.3.2 on Manjaro using my own PKGBUILD, since the extra/dart package is still in 3.0.7 and dart-sdk-dev from aur uses a different sdk path. Now the error became:
Unhandled exception:
Crash when compiling package:mypackage/main.dart:
Unexpected Kernel SDK Version c09cb46304 (expected bc4150a9a2).
EDIT: I installed extra/dart straight from ArchLinux repo to solve the issue
I got past the "Your Flutter SDK download may be corrupt" message on Manjaro by creating a symlink from /opt/dart-sdk-dev to /opt/dart-sdk.
But now I'm getting a "Unexpected Kernel Format Version 114 (expected 116)" error when trying to run a new test project.
I met the same issue as @StrontiumK9:
Your Flutter SDK download may be corrupt or missing permissions to run. Try re-downloading the Flutter SDK into a directory that has read/write permissions for the
current user.
Same of StrontiumK9 for me. flutter doctor doesn't see any issue on my installation but flutter doesn't even create a new project from terminal, printing that error. Obviously, I got to my user r/w permissions for flutter at /usr/lib/flutter
I just installed 3.19.5-7 with Yay and didn't see any of the reported issues.
But I can't run flutter once it has been installed.
flutter pub upgrade in my project just complains:
"Your Flutter SDK download may be corrupt or missing permissions to run. Try re-downloading the Flutter SDK into a directory that has read/write permissions
for the current user."
Is there some post install work I need to do to get it to work?
@ajje Yeah, really sad. I wished I could resolve the problem. Yay btw. isn't in an infinite loop, bu "only" builds the package 15 times - if you are very patient, yay can hence install it.
About paru, I already consider writing a patch to the upstream running pacman interactively - because the build process works way faster using paru.
Alternatively, I'm working on pre-built packages for those who don't wanna manually build them, the progress can be found on the GitLab mirror of this repo, at https://gitlab.com/flutter-archlinux/tool/-/merge_requests/1 .
@WithTheBraid Thank you for your detailed explanation and your patience. Yes, now yay asks if you want to remove the old flutter package, but it still doesn't work for me because I get stuck in an infinite loop trying to build the package. That's why I tried paru, but as you correctly point out, it runs pacman non-interactively.
I see now that some users has suggested uninstalling Flutter manually then doing a clean build with paru. I'll try that. Thanks again for all that you are doing for us lazy users of AUR helpers.

This package is deprecated in favor of
aur/flutterwhich now contains all required artifacts on its own. This PKGBUILD will be kept as is in order to ensure seamless builds of old Flutter version in future.
