Build Cura-Flatpak from source

[Tim453]

Until Cura 4.13.1 the flatpak could be build entirely from the source code. With version 5.0 Ultimaker started using conan in their build system, which does not work well with flatpak-builder. Since than the Flatpak is build by just extracting the offical AppImage into the Flatpak enviorment. It would be nicer if a way is found to build the Cura flatpak from source code. This would also bring back the support for aarch64. Ultimaker even offered to integrate Flatpak specific parts into their Repo.

I would also like for cura to once again be built from source
flatpaks for cura 4.13.1 for arm64 linux are available but the appimage derived latest cura versions are only available for x86_64

https://social.afront.org/@spot/109989260874421438 might make this impossible

continue reading the above thread. the developer forward ported cmake support to the latest cura versions. it is possible again using the fedora package https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cura
