adding libraries/headers - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm trying to work with gtk for c. I downloaded c4droid and wrote a small GUI program and I need to include and or add gtk/gtk.h I also wrote a server that uses the errno header but produces errors because the header is not installed/included. BTW i downloaded busybody pro too. So how do I solve this issue?

I have figured out the include issue. I found the include folder and seen that errno.h is in there. To make a long story short the issue was downloading the gcc plugin for c4droid then going in to preferences and setting the compiler to gcc-Bionic. But now the server I wrote wont work properly because you have to run it with CLA's. Example: ./server [IP address] <port number> and c4droid doesn't allow this. Not that I'm aware of at least. They this app is perfect for developers. I would agree that it is suitable for programmers just starting off and just learning. Like a college student....Maybe. it was only a dollar 50, so not a big loss. Currently looking for a gnu gcc port for the terminal. Like the iPhone 4. God I miss that thing! Ideas/insight?

I think you'd have better luck posting in general development thread.

Ok thanks.

Can't post in that sub forum until I have 10 posts. Sucks!

Post number 9.

Here's number 10 and I'm off to the development forum.

Looks like I need one more post.

[Q] Android JNI problem. Bad build tools?

Hello, XDA. This is my first post.
Before I start out looking like I'm helpless, and keeping with the mindset that I don't expect something for nothing, I've spent the time to write up newbie-friendly guides:
(edit: Apparently, I have to make eight posts before I can post external links) I will probably accumulate eight posts in this thread, and will edit this at that point.)
Adding OpenVPN and liblzo to the AOSP source tree and compiling a kernel to support it. Includes instructions for patching OpenSSL1.0.0a to enable engine support.
Wrangling with USB permissions
Making a custom boot animation from an animated gif
If it would be better to have the content located on the forum somewhere, tell me where it ought to go.
My problem:
I am trying to roll my own ROM from AOSP (Gingerbread 2.3.4). I have been successfully building images and even kernels for the Nexus S for several weeks now. Recently, I broke something.
I've beat my head against this for three days now. I think I read the entire internet before posting here. I think there is a problem with my build tools, but I don't know where I should be looking for it, or how to test it. The problem is not in the AOSP source tree. I know this because I checked out a clean copy of it, followed Google's instructions, and I get the same result. I get the same result in both the emulator, and on the Nexus S.
When I launch the browser, this is the output from logcat:
(edit: Wow... the parser that tells me I can't post URLs is so aggressive, that I can't paste my logcat output either... I have base64 encoded it instead.)

Perl for Windows RT

All,
Please find the attached binaries for Perl 5.12.4
These binaries were distributed freely by Microsoft in its Hardware Certification Kit and still contain the original Perl5 licensing agreement (curious if they modified the source and where it is though).
Perl and its core modules are distributable (and re-distributable) under a variety of open source licensing options. I've chosen to publish the Perl binaries here under GPLv1 - specifically section 3c. I have received no information regarding the location of the source code. I can only presume this came from the Perl 5.12.4 development repository (http://dev.perl.org/)
If anyone feels I have violated any licensing agreement, I will happily remove the binaries.
Enjoy!
Code:
C:\Perl>perl -v
This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for MSWin32-ARM-multi-thread

supposedly: amazon.com, BBC.co.uk and Ticketmaster all use it in their CGI scripts. I guess if your a company with a script written in perl 18 years ago but it still works, well, why fix what isn't broke?
Looking around it seems it was pretty popular wherever text needed to be parsed in particular ways.

It was a popular choice for web apps in the early days of such things, since modifying text (including HTML) is something the language is pretty great at. On a more user-ish level, it's still reasonably commonly used for little "do something more complex than a shell script but simpler / more hackable than is worth a full executable binary" tools, but python has largely displaced it there. The *nix community uses it a lot more than the Windows community, too.

When I worked at level 3 we still used Perl all over the place. It still technically 'runs the internet' as the saying used to go - as level 3 owns the AS1 network (largest segment of the internet).
I still use perl today for formatting files quickly or backend systems dev, though for other types of development I typically use something else these days.

Sadly, there isn't an RT 8.1-signed version of Perl out there that I know of. The RT version of Perl has a nice security hole that could be exploited to bootstrap a jailbreak on 8.0, but not 8.1 if you can't run it >.<
Oh well, my PowerShell exploit is enough.

I use it for my self-made home-automation. A web-site on my hacked FritzBox! (with freetz) which let me communicate through a self-made "Usb-Serial-device". I don't know why, but my perl-script runs smoother than my php-serial-script.

Sometimes its best not to question it I have found...
Why the hell does an overflowing positive integer in C# give me a negative integer and then become zero (which is somewhat logical when you look at the binary representation) whereas in VB.net it seems to go straight to giving the string "infinity", I dunno, i dont question it.

xD well spoken, sir

In C# (and all other languages, typically including BASIC dialects), a signed int goes negative on overflow because that's how two-complement binary representation works. Calling it "somewhat logical" is like suggesting that 'A' + 1 == 'B' is "somewhat logical"... no, that's how ASCII works. These are things which have been part of the computing world for over five decades. They are literally some of the oldest standards in computing.
If an int is turning into a string for you in VB, for the love of $DEITY stop using variants. Dim foo as Integer = (Integer.MAX + 1) should give Integer.MIN, or throw an exception if you have overflow checking enforced.

I know why the hell a signed int goes negative on overflow. If you want I can write out the IEEE floating point representation in binary for a given number. Somewhat logical was a play on words, it is very logical. I am not a moron, But no, every time you quote me it seems to be you putting me down no matter what I say, so I am used to that now.
I'm doing anything funny in VB.net other than reading in 2 numbers from the console, casting them to int, adding them, printing the result out, gives "Infinity" for some reason. Never goes negative beforehand. The same code in C# does go negative and then to zero. VB does seem to carry on doing arithmetic on it fine as if it was 0 still, it just shouldn't write to the console as Infinity, it should write as zero, almost seems to be .NET catching and marking the overflow and then the .ToString() method catching the overflow as "infinity" instead of 0. But why bother in VB.net yet not C#. Why bother at all.

There is a wonderful program frn. It is very much important for amateur radio operators. for it is in perl source. If somebody started it all would have been grateful. It is used to link a raspberry-based Pi.

[Completed] I have an issue. I do not know if my code modification or my device is to blame.

Info:
my device is rooted (fully) and my phone consist of Supersu, Nethunter terminal, bcmon, Reaver.
(below are the codes i modified for my device)
The history
when I first started running reaver i would receive many errors; [...not found] [...can't enable] [...can't change permissions (appearently you can't change permissions within sdcard folder... anyways, moving on.)]
[...no internet connection found]
my point is after looking at the custom scripts I had installed (with notepad++) i noticed that the actual scripts were the big issue. so I started changing things one by one in-order to not mess-up everything. yeah sure, I made some errors that made things last longer- way longer than normal. Nevertheless, at some point I actually started making things better and slowly started knocking down those errors!! until i hit the 'test' button and sure enough
"Cannot link executable... libfake_driver.so is 32 instead of 64.... only PIE are supported."
Truth Be Told
as you might can tell from the kind of question I'm asking, I am not an expert.
And I understand these kind of questions comes with others looking at the questioner as annoying- and with the thought of 'these beginners just want everyone to give answers instead of learning themselves...' It's NOT COMPLETELY wrong, since now days a comment like such is ... pretty much true-
So i'll say this: Not Every One Is The Same.
I am a programmer. my programming is mostly within game design/ game development so if more coding is needed to solve my issue at hand, then let me know and please (at the lease) point me in the right direction.
if I need to google something, please clarify what to search. For I am just one person, so it is possible I haven't thought of something to type in- however, that does not mean I haven't type MANY searches in already.
The Question
Am I able to use Rfa and bcmon on nexus 5x, and if so, then what is needed to get my phone operating (the app(s)) correctly? This is the complete error i am receiving in RfA.
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: "/system/app/bcmon/assets/libs/libfake_driver.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit page record for 0x7f98e8c010 was not found (block_size=64)
error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.
My Done Work
with the rfa settings you can choose to use custom scripts the following shows the scripts i used and it's placement.
these scripts i had to modify to get the device's errors fixed ( not all though )
Activation Script:
#!/bin/bash
svc wifi disable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sdcard/bcmon/assets/libs
LD_PRELOAD=/data/sdcard/bcmon/assets/libs/libfake_driver.so sh
cd /sdcard/bcmon/assets/tools
./enable_bcmon
echo “rfasuccess”
exit
Warm-up Script
#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sdcard/bcmon/assets/libs
LD_PRELOAD=/sdcard/bcmon/assets/libslibfake_driver.so sh
cd /sdcard/bcmon/assets/tools

Wayland server for Android

ABANDONED
Hi! Does anyone here use Linux desktop distributions in chroot environment on Android device?
I am developing wayland protocol server for Android devices. If anyone is interested in checking my project, latest version of apk is always available here:
ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/mogryph/sparkle/
Currently I am only focused on running Xwayland as client. Also apk supports audio output.
Simplest instruction:
1. Android 6 or newer required, busybox required, root required
2. Prepare linux distribution in directory, image or on partition. Make sure you have Xwayland installed in it. Make sure you specify which DE to run (or at least xterm) in ~/.xinitrc
3. Install and start sparkle.apk
4. Press "edit user.sh", uncomment (remove #) line starting with start_generic_container. Change rest of this line to match your device:
first arg - image or partition where distribution is installed. If distribution is installed in directory and mouting is not needed, leave this arg unchanged.
second arg - mount point or directory with distribution. If you use mounting (first arg), this arg can be left unchanged.
third arg - name of the user which will be used to start Xwayland and DE. Its better to specify non-root. Also this is the user who must have .xinitrc in his home dir (see step 2).
5. Save user.sh and click "Start".
6. Any problems and crashes will be reflected in the log.
If you want audio output:
1. Compile and install driver from pcm_sparkle.tar.gz in your distribtion
2. cp 1.asoundrc ~/.asoundrc
If you have blinking problem, change upload_mode from 1 to 2 in settings. If you have bad performance, setting no_damage to true may help, but in most cases no_damage=false is better. Fastest upload mode is 0 (if it works).
If you don't trust me and don't want to give sparkle root permissions (I perfectly understand this) you don't have to. Also you can do without busybox.
But in this case, you need to understand and do a lot of things. Check sparkle's user.sh to get idea about what needs to be done. Basically:
1. You need to make /data/data/com.sion.sparkle/files accessible from inside chroot container. You can use bind bound.
2. Make sure you have tmpfs mounted over /tmp in container.
3. You may need to change selinux context on /tmp to match sparkle's context or disable SELinux.
4. You need to create new directory in /tmp, symlink sparkle's wayland socket from /data/data/com.sion.sparkle/files/wayland-0 to this dir. And export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to point to this dir. Dir must be (ch)owned by user who will be running Xwayland and DE.
5. After all this, you can try to start Xwayland and your DE.

New version
rgho.st/8Fbz64Rxj
Added x86 and x86_64 support. Actually it is rewritten almost from scratch but x86 support is the only thing others can notice...

Hello! This project is interesting. I tried you app and it works on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X(chromium and glmark from chrooted environment works very well)! Can you publish source code on Github, because it really interesting project?

Also I'm interested, please post it on github!

Did you put this up on github or move this thread? Looks very interesting.

Argh, sorry, I decided to abandon this project. You are free to delete thread. Also no copyleft-licensed components were used so I don't have to bother releasing sources.

Hello again.
For last two weeks I was rewriting it from scratch (yes. again... yes, third time).
Probably need another week to make it stable.
Currently I am not sure it runs on any device except my own 5-year old phone (LineageOS 14).
I will maintain last version here:
ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/mogryph/sparkle/
There is no English documentation, but you can see script "user.sh" to get idea about how to start xwayland. In most cases it should be enough to edit few lines in that script to make it work on another device. If you execute this script on your device with "install" argument, it is supposed to place itself into sparkle's directory and sparkle is supposed to run it ("start" function) automatically. Sparkle doesn't request root unless script does.
Here is video of sparkle working:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOSFYxCF7Q8
But it seems that KDE + video recording was too much for my old phone
Still, if you going to see video, don't close it until 2:00 where I turned of composition which caused lags.
Also on device everything looks much smoother than on video, even after 2:00.
When I watch fullscreen (1280x720) video on my device, sparkle + xwayland together add just 5% of CPU load (20% load of single core).
Thats it I guess... I tried to to discuss sparkle on 4pda.ru (russian forums), but got very bad reception. "xsdl is perfect, dont reinvent the wheel" they say. So I started to hate humanity and I decided to make sparkle personal project. Also this is last time I am solving reCAPTCHA to leave post on XDA.

Still alive
We are still alive. I've changed first post to reflect actual state. Now sparkle supports audio, auto-mouting containers and is lot more stable.
Yet there are still many things I want to improve in sparkle's core before adding new functions.
Also there are few demo videos on ftp.

Amazing!
Working great on my redmi 6 pro. Stock miui 9.9.3 rom. With linuxdeploy and sparkle from your ftp. No lag on visual and sound. My Linux distribution is alpinelinux arm64 arch.
Since first time I see your posting on 4pda. I'm interested in it. And finally it's on xda.
Thanks dev.

For anyone interested in the topic. Please follow the instructions in documentation from ftp. And Translate it to eng from rus.

This sounds amazing! Just curious, is it related to https://github.com/twaik/sparkle ?

I now have it working very well on my Samsung Tab S3 using Xwayland and a tiling window manager. Firefox runs amazingly well!
Is it meant to be used only with Xwayland or will it also work with native Wayland applications?
BTW, I think if you open sourced this project and promoted it a bit, it could become quite popular. It's basically the first way to run X11 GUI applications on Android devices at full speed. If you set up a donation link, you could also get compensated for your time and effort. I'll personally contribute $20 if it's open sourced, and I'm sure others will chip in as well.

Thanks for feedback. Nice to hear that someone managed to start this thing
Twaik's repository is clone of my very very old version of sparkle. I made that version years ago when I was just starting to learn linux and C++. Sparkle was rewritten from scratch two or three times since that version. And (I believe) current version is much better.
Regarding making it open source... Few months ago I had to find real job. Can't spend much time on personal projects any more. But I have my own strange programming style and my own vision of what sparkle should be. Not sure I want others to paint on my picture. It's probably all because of Twaik! I hate how he used old open source version of sparkle. He did terrible things to it, outraging all my beliefs Sorry!
P.S.: Yesterday I've uploaded another apk to my ftp. The file is called "sparkle-testing.apk". This version is much newer and has many fixes. But I've also changed to many things since tested version including some fundamental changes. No guarantee it will run at all on other devices. Interest is mega low and I get no test reports at all.

Hi Hentacler, I've just found your project - it looks really promising. Unfortunately, the only link currently working on this thread is to github. Is this project still live?
I have a samsung galaxy note 10+, and am using it as a laptop replacement. In addition to the android apps using Samsung Dex (Samsung's desktop solution), I have several linux distributions installed inside a chroot using userLand - so far, its working great. I'd be keen to give you project a try if it's still live, and am happy to help out with testing from my device.
Re open source - while I like your project, I'm not super interested in investing time into something that's not open sourced - I appreciate your concerns about wanting to maintain the direction, but having transparent development is pretty important to me. Is Twaik's fork of your project a better place to go?
Cheers.

Link to FTP should work and there you can get two versions:
sparkle.apk - old version, but confirmed to work by 3-4 people.
sparkle-testing.apk - latest version, but only briefly tested by me.
I don't ask anyone to invest anything... Sparkle doesn't request root access or any other dangerous permissions (unless you enable automatic container mounting and starting) so it's safe to try for anyone who wants.
Btw, somewhere between these two versions I've replaced BASH container initialization script with LUA version. That was probably a bad idea. LUA script is harder to start directly as root and hacks I used may not work (currently may even cause application freeze if root access is denied). Going to revert to BASH probably. But this only touches people who want sparkle to mount container and launch everything automatically on single button press.
p.s.: Why I need to solve captcha every time I post something?

Thanks for the new release! I've updated and everything seems to be working without any changes on my Samsung Tab S3 with chroot and Arch Arm Linux.
Your changes also solved the flickering for me! The old version would flicker the screen whenever my keyboard's trackpoint activated, but it's not flickering at all any more. Performance seems to be about the same.
I think this could be quite popular, but not many people know about it. Perhaps a post on Hacker News or Reddit would raise awareness.
I understand your position on open source and maintaining control. One idea if you haven't already considered it is releasing the code with a restrictive license that forbids any forks. But either way, I'm enjoying being to properly use X11 on my tablet.
BTW, have you tried any native Wayland compositors? I don't really understand the Wayland ecosystem that well. I gave Sway a brief try, but it didn't seem to work. I've only been using XWayland.

@Hentacler Thanks for your reply! Very keen to get this working, but having a few issues. I'm unsure how to configure the user.lua file - I'm using your latest apk.
I have a non-rooted device, and am running archlinux under termux. Works fine with xsdl. I have installed xorg-server-wayland for X11. I'd appreciate any advice you have.
@robsmith11 Are you able to share how you got this working on Arch? Thanks!!!!

I am not sure it is possible to use sparkle without root...
Sparkle makes it's directory accessible for everyone (chmod 777). Before Android 8 or 9 this was enough and xwayland from termux was able to connect to sparkle. Here is how people used to start it:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/data/data/com.sion.sparkle/files
Xwayland
But newer versions of Android brought more restrictions and termux can no longer connect to sparkle. These new restrictions are implemented using SELinux if you know what it is. Applications now have different security contexts.
But that is not all. Newest versions of android brought even more terrible meaningless restrictions effectively "killing" applications like termux and many others.
In short, from now one applications are not allowed to execute code (binary) that comes from "untrusted" sources. Termux used to download a lot of such code from it's own repositories. And now it can't. We can't even unpack binaries from assets.
So I can only help with rooted devices.
P.S. Please forgive me, but I am leaving this website. Making people solve recaptcha every time they want to post something is unacceptable level of contempt.
My mail: [email protected]

Thanks for that, will have a play. I could always just root my device. Weird about recaptcha, not having this issue. Currently through termux I have access to the whole sdcard, and am able to download packages (and distros) in it - will have a play and see what else is possible.

@tillum
I basically just followed the instructions on the first post for using Sparkle without busybox. I didn't need to modify the Lua scripts.
I'm guessing SELinux may be a problem without root. I'll try setting it up without root when I have a chance later.
