Answer 1

In Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon with Flutter 2.5.2 and snap 2.51.7 I fixed by doing

sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev
flutter clean
flutter run -d linux

Answer 2

There is an issue with snap version of Flutter (https://snapcraft.io/flutter) April 15th 2021 release.

The solution is to do a manual install (https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux#install-flutter-manually)

It's now Sep 2023 and I still have a similar issue which can be resolved by manually installing Flutter. – Wow

Answer 3

I had the same issue on ubuntu 22.04 use the flutter documentation for building and releasing linux app and install snapcraft here https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/linux

Answer 5

According to the link error log, the problem is a link to the libgcrypt cryptographic library, and the missing reference to the gpg-error library causes an undefined symbol error.

You can try the following ways to solve:

Make sure the gpg-error library is installed:

sudo apt install libgpg-error-dev

In the CMake compilation script, find the libgcrypt library reference and add the gpg-error library:

target_link_libraries(your_target libgcrypt libgpg-error)

If the flags are obtained through pgg-config, you can set them to:

pkg_check_modules(LIBGCRYPT libgcrypt libgpg-error)

After clearing CMake cache, the configuration is generated again and the reference sequence is correct. If you are using the name version (libgcrypt.so.x) link, link to the libgcrypt.so library without the version instead. Update the libgcrypt library to the latest version. Essentially, you need to ensure that a reference to the gpg-error library is included when compiling and linking to resolve undefined symbol errors.
