So that is why vibed demo app doesn't work although it does

network stuff ?
Yes, but that is harder than it sounds, because often those
globals are supposed to be thread-local. Dan Olson has a
branch of druntime for iOS where he uses pthreads instead for
TLS, for the handful of places where druntime needs it:
https://github.com/smolt/druntime/blob/ios/src/ldc/xyzzy.d#L83
Phobos uses TLS globals much more, so it's prohibitive to do
the same there. That means you could use druntime but not
phobos if you wanted to go this route, as I mentioned to Rishub
earlier in this thread.
The alternative is to run a full linux install in a chroot:

But that requires root, so you're back to square one.
Well, I have root. But if I get somebody else to start
playing with my app, I don't want to have to make them root
their device just to see what it does.
Yep, one of the many problems with root.

I didn't read all of this discussion. Does the chroot method
mean you
can use glibc?
Yes, I believe so.
You can use glibc with the Android NDK anyway.
