Compile flutter desktop application using bitbake for yocto distro

Question

I want to compile my flutter desktop app for a yocto distro, so I somehow need access to flutter build. How am I able to use flutter in do_compile(){}? It's installed in my docker container I use to build my yocto images.

do_compile() {

do_install() {

You must add an build time dependency to the tool, you must use the DEPENDS variable for that.

DEPENDS += "flutter-engine-native"

Add the meta-flutter layer to your bblayers.conf after cloning it.
