flatpak-builder --run build-dir-arsandbox org.arsandboxg.ARSandbox.yml sh

the --run flat causes flatpak-builder to ignore the build instructions in the yaml. Instead it will setup /app and /usr folders then execute the sh command given. (bash might be a better choice)

Now you can look around to figure out where files are so you can add the right stuff to the yml file

When debugging –run is your best friend

opening another terminal window after the fail and cding into the build-dir directory might show you the file structure but commands like make will not behave the same as they will use the host OS tools instead of the flatpak tools.

flatpak-builder --repo=repo --force-clean --state-dir=build-cache-arsandbox build-dir-arsandbox org.arsandboxg.ARSandbox.yml

1. put the finished build in a folder called repo
2. do not use any part of any previous build
3. provide a cache folder so flatpak-builder doesn't have to redownload stuff every build
4. give a temp directory for the build

flatpak build-bundle repo arsandbox_g.flatpak org.arsandboxg.ARSandbox

1. the name of file
2. app ID
