glibc-for-termux's Introduction

Info

This repository stores AUR builds for compiling glibc packages and compiled glibc packages in pacman format in the releases department. Here the AUR builds are divided into two types:

distro are builds that are configured to compile on a linux distribution (or on proot-distro).
termux are builds that are configured to compile on termux.

At the moment, glibc packages have only been compiled foraarch64 and arm (armv7) architectures.

Installation steps:

Installing the required packages.
The most essential is pacman. If you are installing glibc packages that have been compiled on a linux distribution, then you will need proot (in the release of the packages there is information where they were compiled).
```
pkg ins pacman -y # necessary
pkg ins proot -y  # needed only when installing packages that have hard links
```

Installing the archive with glibc packages.
Important: pay attention to where the packages were compiled, since the installation phase depends on it.

# Installing the latest archive
wget https://github.com/Maxython/glibc-for-termux/releases/download/20221025/gpft-20221025-${arch}.tar.xz
tar xJf gpft-20221025-${arch}.tar.xz

Installing glibc packages.
If you selected packages that were compiled in termux, then the installation should proceed like this:
```
pacman -U glibc-for-termux/*
```
If the packages that were compiled in the linux distribution, then the installation should proceed like this:
```
proot --link2symlink pacman -U glibc-for-termux/*
```
Final.
After installation, the grun command will be available, it is intended to run binaries that depend on glibc or to run a customized shell.
For example:
- grun ./binary_file - running binaries
- grun --shell - running a customized shell (gives access to glibc commands)
