x11-packages VS termux-packages

Lots of things changed in few years. Now it doesn't make sense to separate x11 packages to https://github.com/termux/x11-packages - we no longer need to deal with side collaborator access rights.

Done, thanks.

Solved. https://github.com/termux/x11-packages/pull/540

* It is not available through the official packages repository. You could, although, try building it from the source code, however you might have to patch the source code and port it for Android; if you manage to do this, it would be appreciated if you could help the project by adding VLC to Termux's GUI repository. You could also use mpv-x as an alternative, it is available in Termux's repositories.

Many desktop environments (xfce4, mate, lxqt), window managers (dwm, i3, fluxbox), gui toolkits (gtk2/3/4, qt5) and so on. The entire list: https://github.com/termux/x11-packages/tree/master/packages

PS : maybe my issue is related to the termux tigervnc package, see https://github.com/termux/x11-packages/issues/274#issuecomment-810936024 ...

Done on a phone that is not rooted running Termux, termux-usb, usbredirect, and QEMU --> "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1" and "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 v1" and "mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/v1" and "mount /dev/mapper/v1 /root/1" where "/dev/sda1" is a partition on a USB flash drive ("dev/sda") plugged in the phone: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/19635 (github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/19635'cryptsetup)

Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.

I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

As usual don't forget that Android/Linux isn't GNU/Linux,

With this, I was able to cross compile lone for x86_64 from within the Termux environment of my aarch64 smartphone. All I had to do was obtain the Linux user space API headers for x86_64.

I made a Termux package request for multiplatform Linux UAPI headers specifically so I could cross compile lone but unfortunately it was rejected.

I wonder how far you could get with the git client in termux. I got vim running at one point.

Crystal can be installed with just pkg install crystal. If you have Docker, you could also clone the build environment and try building Crystal locally with scripts/run-docker.sh scripts/build-package.sh -I -a aarch64 crystal.
