curl chrome impersonation bionic build errors HELP wanted do not merge .not ready yet.

[john-peterson]

if anyone is not tired of bionic already here are some
errors -fno-exceptions should have removed the first ones.

I am going to work on a stand alone glibc repo instead and try to make
my default shell GNU I have just about had it with this maybe someone
can encourage me to explain why we need bionic at all I never use th
graphics card or system drivers anyway . or hardly ever

pip install curl_cffi for bionic is missing this lib because no one no
same person could build it in bionic

boringssl

there is a boringssl already existing at /system/lib64/libcrypto.so. what is this one needed for?

pip install curl_cffi

it works for me on-device, what was wrong with it for you?

maybe someone can encourage me to explain why we need bionic at all

it is, I think, because glibc-prefix is a large dependency that can require a lot of downloading and a large amount of space. for me the $PREFIX/glibc folder is 700 MB.

try to make my default shell GNU

actually, you are right, that goal is kind of difficult without messing stuff up and part of the reason is because Termux App sets $TERMUX_PREFIX/bin/login or $PREFIX/bin/bash or $PREFIX/bin/zsh as the initial launch shell for Activities here

https://github.com/termux/termux-app/blob/21c0d51fb6c9b27c386aceb0de67b99a97d1eeb8/termux-shared/src/main/java/com/termux/shared/shell/TermuxSession.java#L83

so it would be necessary to delete/edit $PREFIX/bin/login to achieve what you want.

and I tried some messing with ~/.termux/shell, but it does not work well for glibc-runner, some weird side effects happened so I am not sure how to do that.

[robertkirkman]

After the date of my last message, I have learned that pure glibc-packages bootstrap termux.apk is possible and has been invented previously by someone as a proof of concept. If you still want one, you can let me know and I could put you in contact with the person who has tested that.
