Flutter: Build from source works, and flutter engine binaries are available. Building flutter apps is a work in progress. Compile natively flutter app is now supported (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/141930 ). Cross compilation is not upstream, but you can use this PR if you’re interested: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/142431.
See this design document for details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yuexY-EtzeVhU3V6RGBII_kH-znLSkQCspzW70jayZk/edit?resourcekey=0-8pQRSXSHQlwOo7QtCVLvBA and open issues https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/62597 . WIP.
Flutter App
Since Dart and Flutter engine are now built upstream, we document how to simply create, build and run a flutter App.
If you’re interested in manually building dart or flutter itself, you can follow other instructions on this page.
| Code Block |
|---|
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter
flutter/bin/flutter.bat create app
cd app
../flutter/bin/flutter.bat build windows
file build/windows/arm64/runner/Release/app.exe
# on windows-x64, it will build an x64 app instead |
If you’re interested in cross compilation, take a look at this PR: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/137618/142431
Setup (common to both projects)
Note: This is needed only if you intend to build dart and flutter manually. Upstream artifacts are now available for windows-arm64, so there is no need to build this manually.
Those two projects are built using chromium build system (https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/ , a cmake like, and https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up ). Both projects provide wrappers to build, without the need to call gn directly.
