Compile NoLimitConnect Using Flatpak

# FlatPak 6.7 works but 6.9 fails

# with Raspberry Pi 5:
# bwrap: execvp appstream-compose: No such file or directory

# with Ubuntu 24.04:
# /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/14.3.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU: No such file or directory
# even though modules has
# - shared-modules/glu/glu-9.json

# So build with 6.7 for now

1. Checkout NoLimitConnect:

   git clone https://gitlab.com/nolimitconnectapps/nolimitapp.git
   cd nolimitapp
   

2. Allow flatpak submodules (required for GL/glu lib):

   git submodule add -f https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules.git
   

3. Build only (no install):

   flatpak-builder --force-clean build-dir com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect.yml
   

4. Install from the build directory:

   flatpak-builder --user --install build-dir com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect.yml
   

5. Optional - Create Installable Bundle:

   flatpak-builder --force-clean --repo=flatpak-repo build-dir com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect.yml
   flatpak build-bundle flatpak-repo NoLimitConnect.flatpak com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect
   flatpak install --user NoLimitConnect.flatpak
   

6. Run:

   flatpak run com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect
   

7. List flatpak apps:

   flatpak list --app
   

8. Show NLC info:

   flatpak info --show-location com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect
   

9. Uninstall:

   flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.nolimitconnect.NoLimitConnect
   

10. Change FlatPak Version:

If you have selected the wrong Patform and SDK version you can install the correct version with

flatpak install flathub org.kde.Sdk//6.7

and

flatpak install flathub org.kde.Sdk//6.7
