Arch Linux User Repository

This package is deprecated in favor of aur/flutter which 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.

This doesn't actually build anything. Either the name should be updated to -bin or this package should be corrected.

See this and this for compilation steps.

Also if you're going to the effort of messing with permissions, you might as well go all the way; for find "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}" -type d -exec chmod a+rx {} + you can change a+rx to a+rx,g+w, since it will avoid noisy warnings during update of this package and will align with the whole purpose of creating the flutterusers group.

And as has been said before, when bumping pkgver then pkgrel should be reset to 1.

u should reset pkgrel to 1 if you update pkgver https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

Flutter failed to create a directory at "/opt/flutter/bin/cache/downloads".

@orzogc Adding to flutterusers doesn't help. EDIT: Nevermind. Had to logout and login back again.

please update pkgrel=1

The terminal-gymnastics in the flutter.install script won't work properly in non-terminal environments (e.g. in Pamac):

tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
Flutter was installed on /opt/flutter
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
In case you encounter problems using Flutter as regular user, add your user into the group flutterusers:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
gpasswd -a ${USER} flutterusers
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
Re-login your terminal in to the group flutterusers:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
newgrp flutterusers
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified

tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
Run the following command to see if there are any dependencies you need to install to complete the setup (for verbose output, add the -v flag):
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
flutter doctor

@Gigas002 Add your user to the flutterusers group.

Got the following error on flutter doctor command:

Flutter failed to create a directory at "/opt/flutter/bin/cache/downloads".
Please ensure that the SDK and/or project is installed in a location that has read/write permissions for the current user.

Patch to make it works:

I've got with fakeroot and makepkg errors like:

Can you precaching during prepare phase instead of package phase ?
