The pip tool in python tries to use a hard link (which does not work on Android 6) for its lock file implementation, so ends up in:

File "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/lockfile/linklockfile.py", line 49, in acquire
time.sleep(timeout is not None and timeout/10 or 0.1)

"luajit -b" does not work (produces an error message). It expects several *.lua files in $PREFIX/share/luajit-2.0.4/jit/, which are not installed. If I copy those files from another system manually, the broken functionality is restored. So it's probably just a matter of including the missing files into the luajit package.

First of all: wow, great app. First time my tablet is usable!!

I have installed g++ and nano to test some things, but I can't build a simple program:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    cout << "foobar\n";
    return 0;
}

Because I get undefined references to STL stuff. I saw that there is a libgnustl installed and I tried manually linking against that, but it didn't work either. Anything I am not doing right?

Thanks!

Hello,
First of all, well done your software is awesome !
I encounter a problem with g++

Everything seems like the std lib isn't installed.
The thing is I can't find any matching package.

Hi, has someone tried getting nix to work inside termux? This would mean to have lot of packages available.
Here's a guide to get it on various distro.
Thanks, Nicolò

Copied from original issue: termux/termux-app#18

I was able to build a bunch native gems now! However, I'm getting stuck on nokogiri, which can't find iconv (which I installed via apt).

Steps to reproduce:

chsh -s zsh
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/zsh is not an executable file!

Used version:

$ zsh --version
zsh 5.1.1 (arm-unknown-linux-androideabi)

You are using it to fetch the sources, but haven't installed it during ubuntu-setup.sh.

i am tryng to compile openwrt with termux, unfortunately i cannot find packages for zlib seq and stat.

bpython is a fancy interface to the Python interpreter for Linux, BSD, OS X and Windows (with some work). bpython is released under the MIT License. It has the following (special) features:

• In-line syntax highlighting
• Readline-like autocomplete with suggestions displayed as you type.
• Expected parameter list for any Python function.
• "Rewind" function to pop the last line of code from memory and re-evaluate.
• Send the code you've entered off to a pastebin.
• Save the code you've entered to a file.
• Auto-indentation.
• Python 2 and 3 support.

SCREENSHOTS
SHORT VIDEO

On my Arch Linux I have installed these versions:

• For Python2: bpython2 (I think it includes also bpython2-curses and bpython2-urwid)
• For Python3: bpython (I think it includes also bpython-curses and bpython-urwid)

Keep up the good work! Termux is the best terminal emulator I've tried for Android, installing packages with apt is a killer feature =D

I have no experience on any library could provide OpenGL without X or a windowing system. That is not therotically impossible AFAIK as OpenGL APIs don't care about windowing system anyway and some kind of directly writing into framebuffer perhaps is possible but I guess GLFW and freeglut libraries won't support us here. What library could be used for such thing? Is it something would be possible eventually or it is already possible in someway I am not aware of? Thank you

When I use the file(1) command, it prints out the requested info, then says "Segmentation fault". The error code is 139, if that helps anything. If you need any other piece of information, please let me know.

There are two suspicious things here, one the sed with no input files, the other is the configure warning. Perhaps build-package.sh is out-of-date? I tried this on a ubuntu 15.04 machine with the latest packages.

Hello,

I tried to configure mutt with smime support. Everything looks ok, but the actual encryption/decryption does nothing. This could be due to openssl returning some weird error:

Any idea what could cause this?

Hi

This app is awesome and it will be very interesting if there be openjdk.

thank you.

The subprocess module in python2 defaults to using /bin/sh, which should be /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh. I'm prepping a PR to add a patch to the subprocess.py file once I can test it.

I'm using the Node.JS package, after doing apt install nodejs. However, when trying to install a module (serve if relevant), I get a permissions error.

command run: npm install serve

It suggests I try running the command again as root, so I go ahead with su, then npm install serve again. This time I get a different error:

I'm not sure what this means or how I should proceed from here. Any ideas?

It prints strange output on startup mostly.

GNAT is a free-software compiler for the Ada programming language which forms part of the GNU Compiler Collection. It supports all versions of the language, i.e. Ada 2012, Ada 2005, Ada 95 and Ada 83.

I was able to get around this (and so far all my python packages other than numpy work, with some modification to the _sysconfigdata.py file) by changing the spec file to be:

Hi,

Awesome work you did with termux, I really love it! I'm gonna go away for three months, and an android tablet is all I take with me (and a bt keyboard!). I'm pretty sure in 3 months time I'll want to program, so hey, termux really is perfect for me :)

One thing I'd love is to see PHP arrive, including binding to SQLite 3 (php pdo sqlite) and the built-in webserver (available since PHP 5.4 I believe). I tried to build it on the tablet, but I ran into problems with shebang and stuff...

you should state somewhere, that you need to link agains "libgnustl_shared" on the device to get a functioning c++ standard library.

zsh compinit complains about insecure directories. The dirs

files/usr/share/zsh
files/usr/share/zsh/5.1.1

have permissions 770, but should be 750 for compaudit to stop complaining.

Sorry me, I have not found the source code of your Android app.

Is it released? Have you planned a release?

Your project can be really appreciated in F-Droid.

Python 3.X is great to have, and to be up to date, but seeing as how python 2.7 is still widely used i was wondering if you could include it in the repository? if this needs a package maintainer i would understand.

Wow, blown away, 405 packages available on Android. :)

Do you have any plans to package the necessary tools from the NDK and SDK so that I could write and build an Android apk directly from my tablet? I notice you have aapt packaged, which is used by the SDK to package apks. The compilers and linkers from the NDK wouldn't be hard, as it's all open source and you already build the stock versions yourself. I don't know how bad it would be to extract and build the necessary tools from the SDK. If that is your plan, that'd be great.

Some small bugs I've noticed so far:

• clang couldn't link a "hello world" test because it was passing -lgcc to the linker, twice actually. If I compiled to an object file with clang and then ran the same linker command without that flag, it worked.
• git log shows some cruft, specifically every commit starts like this:

[[33mcommit a254fecc4824a884024e7907e2185cfc95e4c64d[[m

• gdb says it can't load 4-5 shared libraries when running any program. I tried it on a program that I know hangs on Android 5.0, but I couldn't Ctrl-C out of the program to get a backtrace in gdb. I ended up having to open another session and kill gdb.

Love this work; if you have a bitcoin address, I suggest you make it public.

The git-submodule script relies partially on Perl. It's hard-coded to run /usr/bin/perl, which isn't where the Termux Perl package installs that command. Looks like an additional patch is needed for the Git package.

Hello, I tried to compile simple hello world in c, but gcc failed with this:

$ gcc -Wall hello.c -o hello

Can you, please, help me with working around this?

hi there, I'm the developer of ZShaolin

you may want to include it in the resources section, we have our own build toolchain based on crosstools-ng which may come handy for someone studying the field, plus our own build script

this is just an heads up as a zshaolin user signaled termux. I am studying your system and wouldnt exclude the possibility of joining efforts in the future

happy hacking!

It would be fantastic if mono support was included in termux to at least run cli applications.

Copied from original issue: termux/termux-app#9

With some input methods that support both a "word mode" and a "letter mode", the virtual keyboard is put in the word mode. For instance, when I write "apt" with Google Pinyin, the screen looks like:

This is not a limitation of the input method, since in quite some circumstances like the location bar of Firefox and Chrome, the virtual keyboard is correctly put in the letter mode. I believe the behavior is influenced by some property of the text field, which termux is not setting correctly.

Would be great to add mosh as a package to termux
