    nice to see it

    That pretty well much says it all except;

    only 2.30 is stable on gentoo, all older is masked

    2.31 is still unstable

    Although it boots successfully it isn't ready for primetime yet. More importantly, still no penguins but inteldrmfb still works despite this setback.

    you may be gentoo developper before i die :)

    Hallo Benny!

    2.31 is still unstable

    Same situation with slackware-current.

    you may be gentoo developper before i die :)

    I have my doubts but I certainly don't have anything against gentoo. I've noticed they have gcc-10 patches already and gcc-10.1 was only released the other day.

    The above is from a chrooted toolchain I am working on. It also has glibc-2.31
    but a stock linux-4.6.11 kernel (not booted yet) instead of the 4.7-rc3 kernel that I previously posted about.

    Also the neighbour and I were playing around with a busybox/bash enviroment for
    android devices the other day and I noticed utf8 characters work. I think it would make an excellent enviroment for a WeBeBashing fidonet thingy.

    Also, also we couldn't find the mc app you brought up in a previous post. Care
    to share where it can be obtained?

    I'd have to agree. However, how long did it take to compile? Mine took about 30
    seconds and I was off doing other things.

    I haven't timed it recently but I do know for sure that it was longer than 30 seconds.

    Mine took about 30 seconds and I was off doing other things.

    Is that is from clean source?

    Hey Maurice!

    Agreed. Too many base packages require a gcc-10 patch as of this writing. It is doable though but will wait until both gcc-10 and linux-5.7 become official releases, which should be soon-ish.

    pkg upgrade

    now you can play with all kind of things even make your own husky run in Termux, moha :)

    binkd you have the sources, only problem i see is missing is if you uninstall termux, all installed is deleted, could be nice to make a tarball in termux api
    so one can use it on another phone/tablet where termux is supported on

    Hallo Benny!

    in google play get Termux

    I found it on a search but the neighbour decided he didn't want it afterall due
    to the small screen on his smartphone. I ended up installing it on a 10" tablet which looks way better. I think it would be better with a bluetooth keyboard rather than the virtual one.

    pkg install mc
    got it ?

    I do now. I showed the neighbour and he was impressed except not enough to install it on his smartphone due to the small display. I don't blame him. Myself I don't have a use for it.

    now you can play with all kind of things even make your own
    husky run in Termux, moha :)

    First binkd but it will have to be done with clang since termux dropped support
    for gcc in favour of llvm. I'll try it later once I work out a few kinks and port this bash script over to it. First binkd though.

    could be nice to make a tarball in termux api so one can use it
    on another phone/tablet where termux is supported on

    We could try that if you want. I'll first see what "pkg install llvm" brings to the table. Personally I would have gone with a gcc/glibc enviroment but I'll try clang which will be more in sync with all things termux.

    Hey Maurice!

    "pkg install llvm"

    Change it to "pkg install clang". That works and "binkd -vv" outputs;

    Binkd 1.1a-104 (May 10 2020 08:38:37/Linux)
    Compilation flags: clang.
    Facilities: fts5004 ipv6

    While I am at it "ldd binkd" reports;

    libdl.so
    libc.so

    Now I just have to configure and get it working on the tablet over it's wireless connection. I figure a point system would be best.

    Hallo Benny!

    you can possible precompile into the pkg repo ?
    so its just
    pkg install binkd

    That is the goal but at the moment I am still working out the enviroment variables etc. and as you can see from "Facilities: fts5004 ipv6" and "ldd binkd" both zlib and bzip2 support are lacking at the moment. I do have both those pkgs installed so I figure I am missing vital information for the linker as to where the libraries and includes are now kept.

    more minimal then what i have on gentoo :)

    Yes. However it is missing the on-the-fly compression. I am not sure how important the really is but it would be nice if any termux apps we add will have the same capabilities as a GNU/Linux enviroment has. No?

    my huawei p30 pro have hdmi via usb dongle, then i have a 49"
    monitor to all kind of things, put the phone in desktop mode its
    not a dream :)

    I know, I have seen similar here. The 10" tablet I am currently using to achieve a working termux deveopment enviroment lacks that but no matter since it isn't anything of interest to me at the moment. It is a cheap way to get this idea off the ground. Anyhow it has a 2GHz quad core ARM processor with 2G
    of ram which looks to be capable of achieving the plan for it.

    the phone have 4k @ 60 fps, not many pc's can do this yet

    I have an external hdmi capture device that can handle it. So far I haven't used it for much and may end up selling/trading it for something I might find useful to me. In the meantime I have some troubleshooting to do in order to get zlib/bzip2 support into binkd. After that if we decide to port the Husky stuff then it *should* be ready for that, especially linking the dependencies hpt will require (smapi, fidoconfig, etc). Also msged and perhaps a golded port. Myself I am planning to use the vim I managed to install via "pkg install vim" and give meaning to, "Græd ikke for mig, jeg har vi." :-)
