Are you running flutter in a development environment (nix develop, devenv,…)? If so, try launching vscode from the command line inside this environment.
Well, you’re obviously missing the linux toolchain. Where are they coming from in your “outside vscode” shell? (If it’s a nix-shell, that’s where it’s coming from.)
You need to add those to your runtime environment in the project. I.e. via a shell.nix, nix flake develop output or direnv.
I’m not using nix-shell. So, I don’t know where they are coming from. I don’t have them listed in my configuration file. The strange thing is, when I do list them and rebuild, it starts to show up in VSCode except for gtk3 which doesn’t show up no matter what. Regardless, I want to know the cause of this discrepancy. And like I mentioned before, I’m not using flakes, nor development environments, nor nix-shell, at least not knowingly.

For VS Code, I have I only have a launch.json file inside the .vscode folder in the project folder, the contents of which are as follows:

If you meant something else by VS Code settings, please let me know.
But I don’t know exactly what fixed it. I upgraded my channel from the stable 23.11 to unstable and all of a sudden, the shell inside and outside of VS Code started outputting the same thing. Though, after updating, I started getting the following error even in the normal shell outside of VS Code whereas previously the flutter application was running from there:
This is despite flutter doctor -v telling me that ninja is installed. As per user K900’s suggestion in Matrix chat, I ran flutter clean in the affected flutter application folder and that fixed this error!! Hope this helps anyone facing a similar problem in the future.
P.S: I didn’t have cmake, clang, ninja, nor pkg-config listed as packages in my configuration file, just flutter.
