installing cloudOTP

Hello,

I'd like to install this OTP client: otp.cloudchewie.com
but:
-I asked if AUR would add it and they said no
-I do not want to use flatpak or Debian
Is this the right place to ask for this type of help?
It seems I should be able to compile it but I need detailed instructions to do it.
I tried, but I think I need to install a flutter SDK or something..?
Is somebody willing to help?

Re: installing cloudOTP

It does appear to depend on flutter, which is in the AUR so building & installing that is your first task

Start with reading Arch build system and Arch User Repository
Once you have build & installed flutter you'll have to create a PKGBUILD for cloudopt with flutter as a dependency.

Welcome to archlinux forums.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: installing cloudOTP

Is there an alternative to building it every time? My computers are all slow (decades old)

Re: installing cloudOTP

Sort of, you can use an already compiled binary and repack it for archlinux .
That does reduce the the time/power needed substantially .

There are no wiki guidelines for -bin packages, you'll have to look at examples in AUR.
One very simple example is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mozillajs-linux-bin .

Re: installing cloudOTP

Thanks for the welcome.
Following these steps: (after finally getting flutter installed without errors)
git clone https://github.com/Robert-Stackflow/CloudOTP.git
cd cloudotp
flutter pub get
flutter gen-l10n
cd third-party/chewieflutter run -d linux
flutter gen-l10n
cd ../../
flutter run -d linux

I end up with these new errors on the last step: (flutter run -d linux)
[1/3] Linux SDK

  └─ [3/3] linux-x64-release/linux-x64-flutter-gtk               (8.7MB in 0.5s)

I tried with the latest 2 versions of flutter and got the same errors/result.

Re: installing cloudOTP

Looks like this may be an upstream issue, but let's investigate.

Please post  the full output of

flutter run -d linux

in code  & /code tags
