Flutter builder not finding cmake

I am trying to package Yubico Authenticator, since the legacy version is broken and has been removed from nixpkgs, and the build fails early on because it is unable to find CMake, even if I specify cmake in nativeBuildInputs.

💪 Building with sound null safety 💪

Building Linux application...
CMake is required for Linux development.
It is likely available from your distribution (e.g.: apt install cmake), or can be downloaded from https://cmake.org/download/
mv: cannot stat '.packages': No such file or directory

It looks like Flutter build support in nixpkgs is undocumented, so I am not sure how I should be using mkFlutterApp. Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
