Re: "I'm trying to build my first Flatpak app for some…"
The problem, I don't understand where is the sandbox ends there :)
I expect that should build boost binaries and place it somewhere in Flatpak container, but my build attempt fails.
Wondering, in the internet I found only this tip:
— https://github.com/boostorg/boost/issues/334
It looks like Boost is never used inside the container and may be available somewhere in the SDK, such as the GTK one.

@HanzBrix thanks, but this is not a GTK app.
I already found a solution in the `--prefix=` path fixed.
Now I intend to create an article to document this journey for beginners like me!

Finally, I implemented this manifest, if someone interested in reviewing it:
— twister p2p manifest for Flatpak bundle
Can't say it was simple, I spent a few days on that but got some experience.
Now I want to create bundles for a few other abandoned apps :)
Original Post
I'm trying to build my first Flatpak app for some application that people can't install on their modern systems. It's written in C++, requires libboost and some other dependencies to build, like libssl-dev, libdb++-dev, etc. Can I install them from the Flatpak or I should build them from the source?
