termux / libandroid-support Goto Github PK

git clone https://github.com/termux/libandroid-support.git
cd libandroid-support
After that ?

I wanted to install python, but this failed because library "libcrypto.so.1.1" was not found . So then I tried running apt update and then apt upgrade, but this failed with the error in the title above.

There was an explanation

This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libandroid-support-aarch 64 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT:Force-LoopBreak option.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what is going on here. Can anyone help? I would really like to run python.

according to https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/docs/status.md, wordexp.h is missing.

There are a few packages that had different patches applied, this one for example has made an external implementation: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/34916a6f65207e41ced26f3bedb16fc371a0dc12/packages/renameutils/add-missing-functions.patch, while the others have disabled wordexp completely.

It'd be nice to add the implementation into this package and make it easier to port packages that rely on wordexp.h

What is the use of this lib in termux and how to link it with bash statically?

It seems that many headers that are required to compile for older API versions in termux are missing. Dropping http://rdb.name/android-support-headers.zip (taken from R17b) into the libandroid-support include directory seems to fix these issues, enabling me to compile my C++ program targeting API 14.

Should I file a PR to add these headers in, or are there good reasons why these headers are being excluded?
