System Dependencies

To build and run Flutter applications on a Linux desktop, install the required C/C++ toolchain and system libraries. Flutter relies on dart:ffi to interface with Linux system calls and the GTK framework for UI rendering.

Required packages for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

- Core Utilities: curl, git, unzip, xz-utils, zip

- Build Tools: clang, cmake, ninja-build, pkg-config

- Libraries: libglu1-mesa, libgtk-3-dev, libstdc++-12-dev

Workflow: Configuring the Linux Toolchain

Follow this sequential workflow to prepare the Linux host for Flutter desktop development.
