Add flatpak build manifest

[RomanKharin]

SImple manifest for Flatpak.
Notes:

• Tested on org.Kde.Platform 5.14
• Uses --device=all, due lack of serial/device portal in flatpak
• No desktop files

Prepare

• install flatpak-builder
• download sdk (flatpak install org.Kde.Platform//5.14 org.Kde.Sdk//5.14)

Build

flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

Test

flatpak-builder --run build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml Candle

Great tip ;-)

On Ubuntu Linux 20.04.5 LTS you need additional steps:

sudo apt install flatpak-builder # + 5MB
flatpak install flathub org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.14 # + 1 GB
flatpak install flathub org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.14 # + 1GB
mkdir build-dir
flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

but I can see warnings/errors here like this:

$ flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

CMake Error: The current CMakeCache.txt directory /run/build/candle/CMakeCache.txt is different than the directory /home/USER/tmp/Candle/src where CMakeCache.txt was created. This may result in binaries being created in the wrong place. If you are not sure, reedit the CMakeCache.txt
Error: module candle: Proces child exited with code 1

After rm build-dir/ -rf I can't see success.

@RomanKharin Maybe you have a solution for this?

I've never worked with flatpak, etc. and I'll update again if I get more info but this manifest built and ran for me,

app-id: com.github.Denvi.Candle
runtime: org.kde.Platform
runtime-version: "5.15-25.08"
sdk: org.kde.Sdk
command: candle
finish-args:
  - --share=ipc
  - --socket=wayland
  - --filesystem=host
  - --device=all
modules:
  - name: candle
    buildsystem: cmake
    config-opts:
      - -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
    post-install:
      - install -D /app/candle /app/bin/candle
    sources:
      - type: git
        url: https://github.com/Denvi/Candle.git
        tag: v11.2

flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install-deps-from=flathub --install build-dir com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

flatpak run com.github.Denvi.Candle

Now to try to connect to my GRBL CNC which I also have no experience with...
