Snap uses an old version of CMake #53

Same here, it would be nice to have a version of CMake 3.15 or higher, at least on edge. Related Issue: harmonoid/libwinmedia#8 |

Hi! , any news? I have the same problem. CMake of core18 is too old, please |
|
I raised this issue with the flutter team, and they very kindly pointed me to the Flutter Snap project. I am adding it for transparency and anyone who finds the issue I raised. Flutter plugins are now using newer versions of CMake in their plugins. Please see the attached link from the Flutter issue queue. |

If Flutter has not been installed before building VeilidChat on Linux, the user can end up with CMake 3.16.3 and encounter errors for Corrosion files that require CMake 3.22 or later. Unfortunately, recovering from this is apparently more complex than putting a newer cmake earlier in the PATH, so it's perhaps best not to obtain CMake 3.16.3 in the first place. The set of conflicts that cause this issue to exist include: veilidchat indirectly recommends the Flutter snap: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilidchat/-/blob/268b86d1319d3bd77dff857c7154250679a081ef/setup_linux.sh#L19 https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid/-/blob/f59c4509ea7e0c0e8b1088138a6eb5297844b112/veilid-flutter/setup_flutter.sh#L23 https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux "The easiest way to install Flutter on Linux is by using snapd." Flutter apparently requires CMake 3.16.3 and someone is not especially interested in newer versions. Historically, CMake in the Flutter snap has been multiple minor versions behind upstream CMake (e.g., 3.10 when a user needed 3.16, 3.16 when a user needed 3.22, etc.): https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/9427b77376d22ceb2c02174ac65dfe9983377a6e/packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/linux/linux_doctor_test.dart#L120 canonical/flutter-snap#53 flutter/flutter#101726 (comment) "We discourage plugin developers from requiring a newer version of CMake than Flutter requires, but we cannot control what third-party developers do. ... If you want to use the snap installation, and want an update with a newer version of CMake, you'd need to file a request at https://github.com/canonical/flutter-snap" When the Flutter snap is installed, flutter commands execute cmake from within the snap's read-only filesystem, and do not use the cmake found in the PATH. This may lead to challenges regardless of whether the user already has a /usr/bin/cmake that is recent enough, or whether the user needs to replace /usr/bin/cmake by following the https://apt.kitware.com process. 3.16.3 is not recent enough because veilid uses Corrosion from GitHub: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid/-/blob/f59c4509ea7e0c0e8b1088138a6eb5297844b112/veilid-flutter/linux/rust.cmake#L11 https://corrosion-rs.github.io/corrosion/ "The master branch of Corrosion currently requires CMake 3.22 or newer."

I have encountered an error where I have needed to add a dependency to my project that depends on CMake.
My Linux mint (20.2) installation includes CMake version
3.16.3, yet in flutter the dependency in question sees a version of CMake3.10.2.❓ Why is such an old version of CMake used in flutter-snap, while ubuntu's repos have updated to CMake
3.16.3?Related issue: objectbox/objectbox-dart#317
For any developers currently running into this issue my advice is to follow the manual
tar.gzinstallation process on the official flutter documentation.https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux#install-flutter-manually
