update Termux docs

[871690991]

The new version can't run, DEP can't install incompatible system, code package can't run, can't create / usr / local / bin directory, I don't have root permission, I hope the author can change the code package directory to the current user's home directory.
新版的无法运行,dep无法安装不兼容我的系统，code 包无法运行无法创建/usr/local/bin目录 我没有root权限，希望作者能把code包目录改为当前用户家目录.
I'm crazy.

What does dpkg --print-architecture show?

Also, please provide your OS version, i.e debian/ubuntu/centOS/macOS/Windows etc.

Try using our auto install script.

My operating system is termux on Android

Can the next version be compatible with termux?

[nhooyr]

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

The old version of termux can run directly, but the new version cannot. Do you have an Android phone to download a termux,you open http://termux.com

[871690991]

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

Some Android phones are connected to the display, such as Samsung, Huawei and smartisan phones, to realize Android programming and development

Here's a summary of the issues I ran into trying this out. My initial post is below the line.

• There's a linker problem with the bundled Node (incorrect path).
• There's a libstdc++.so error with spdlog if you try running with your own Node. (This might be fixed soon?) Already fixed as long as you use the bundled script, for example editing it to use your own Node for now
• npm and yarn both result in Could not locate the bindings file with spdlog (was hoping this would work around the missing libraries)
• Termux has a custom install path that the deb doesn't take into account.

Huh yeah that's interesting, the deb won't install because arm64 doesn't match aarch64? I thought they were the same thing?

I was able to get around that with:

$ dpkg --add-architecture arm64

However this still fails because it's trying to install to /usr. There is a PREFIX environment variable although it's one level too deep:

$ dpkg --inst-dir $PREFIX/.. -i code-server_3.3.1_arm64.deb

I'm not sure if we can fix this on our end; I'm not familiar enough with either termux or dpkg. Maybe there is some system default set somewhere that we can inherit or maybe debs have to be specially packaged for Termux to account for the path difference or maybe there's some other way to detect the right path like using that PREFIX environment variable if it exists.

Unfortunately running code-server still doesn't work at this point because it's trying to execute /usr/lib/code-server/bin/code-server. I tried running $PREFIX/lib/code-server/bin/code-server directly but node exits with no such file or directory. I think what it really means is there is some kind of missing library because the file does exist.

So I installed Node:

$ pkg install nodejs
$ node "$PREFIX/lib/code-server"

And it almost works! But it errors with libstdc++.so.6 not found when loading the spdlog module.

Then I tried out the npm module:

npm -g install code-server

But now I get Could not locate the bindings file for spdlog after running code-server and logging in. I don't know what's causing this one.

Going back to the no such file error:

$ file "$PREFIX/lib/code-server/lib/node"
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/code-server/lib/node: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=8de174bf29b02b0e727ca5cd7c4ede9ef35bb8cc, with debug_info, not stripped

Is it because /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 doesn't exist, maybe? Here's what I get for git:

$ file $(readlink -f $(which git))
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/git-core/git: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /system/bin/linker64, stripped

So how about:

$ pkg install patchelf
$ patchelf --set-interpreter /system/bin/linker64 $PREFIX/lib/code-server/lib/node

Unfortunately this results in:

error: Android 5.0 and later only support position-independent executables (-fPIE).

One other summary item:

• The entry script doesn't work if the deb is installed to a custom location.
