Goal: Compile and run flutter examples emulating Linux Desktop on CentOS 7 docker container
(Note: Can’t use snapd – not supported within Docker) Installed manually
Managed to get everything else cleared up but this one:
GTK 3.0 development libraries are required for Linux development.
They are likely available from your distribution (e.g.: apt install
libgtk-3-dev)
The others show OK:
Γú[Γ£ù] Linux toolchain - develop for Linux desktop
ΓÇó clang version 3.4.2 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot2-final)
ΓÇó cmake3 version 3.17.5
ΓÇó ninja version 1.10.2
ΓÇó pkg-config version 0.29.2
Γú[Γ£ô] Connected device (1 available)
ΓÇó Linux (desktop) ΓÇó linux ΓÇó linux-x64 ΓÇó CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
4.19.76-linuxkit
Another thread had asked for specific versions when diagnosing this. Here they are:
pkg-config –modversion gtk+-3.0
3.22.30
pkg-config –modversion glib-2.0
2.56.1
pkg-config –modversion gio-2.0
2.56.1
pkg-config –modversion blkid
2.23.0
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkg
config:
Would LOVE some help getting this resolved!!!!

It appears most of this has to do with pathing, some of the libs have slightly different names (gtk3-devel, libblkid-devel, xz-devel). Some irritations around cmake3, and getting more current versions of pkg-config, xproto, kbproto, xextproto, and the configuration of said packages. At least now I have a clean flutter doctor.
Now, on to trying to run it...
I updated my Ubuntu to version 22.04 LTS, and when I needed to install Flutter and Android Studio I ran into a similar error in
flutter doctor
output:Command
apt install libgtk-3-dev
returned various errors, at first something like:And then i tried to update all packages:
None of these commands didn’t do anything…
So, i try to remove
libgtk-3-dev
, and after that repeat autoremove and try to installlibgtk-3-dev
again. But now it showed me that it has some unmet dependency (it looks like it depended on some version oflibpcre3
andorlibpcre3-dev
) and for some reasonapt
refused to install it.I tried so many ways to remove this damn package, but I could not do it. As far as I understand, initially the problem is that the version of this shitty package (
libpcre3
) that I have has been stretching since Ubuntu 18, and there is both a 32-bit version and x64, and dependencies are crooked in some of them … Well, or some other problem – maybe something was not deleted during the next update, although it should have been.In the end, I managed to solve the problem using a graphical shell over apt –
synaptic
(its great stuff, I recommend it to everyone). It’s very easy to set up:After that, I found the amd64 version
libpcre3
in list, marked it for installation and installed it. After that, just install through the consoleIt worked fine, updating all dependencies.
P.S. First thing I want to note is that Flutter is incredibly crooked shit (only my opinion). If you haven’t started developing on it yet, don’t start, choose something more stable. If it will be possible to use this garbage, then only in five years at best…
And secondly, I spent a lot of time searching and solving the problem with the library, which is essentially perl dependencies. Despite the fact that I myself do not use perl at all. Looks like the notorious "Dependency Hell" is already here.
I recently reinstalled the OS on my machine, I decided to install and use flutter through FVM. I had many other problems.
Solutions:
clang++
CMake
I was trying
sudo snap install cmake
, But it returned an error, this is because the snap review "cmake" was published using classic confinement and therefore can make arbitrary system changes outside the security sandbox that snaps are usually confined to, which can put the system at risk.It was suggested to me: "If you understand and want to continue, repeat the command including –classic?
To solve it, I just understood and continued
GTK 3.0 development libraries
This solved everything here, it doesn’t have an execution order, each dependency is added independently.
I hope I contributed!
