Hello,
I am trying to compile ECL 16.1.2 under Android 6.0.1 in Termux environment
(this has almost nothing to do with compiling for Android target --- just
think of Termux as a GNU Linux implementation running on Android kernel).
Termux is an Android application which provides GNU Linux environment, see
here http://termux.com
(After installing Termux do "apt update && apt upgrade -y" and also install
a myriad of applications to turn it into proper Linux development
workstation, e.g. I always install the following (plus a plethora of python
modules but they are irrelevant for this discussion):
apt install autoconf automake bc binutils-dev bison bzip2 cboard clang-dev
cmake coreutils ctags curl cvs diffutils dnsutils dos2unix dpkg-dev ecj
elfutils-dev \
elinks expect-dev fftw-dev ffmpeg-dev file-dev findutils flac
flex-dev freetype-dev gawk-dev gcal gdb-dev git glib-dev glib-bin gnuchess
gnuplot grep gzip htop iconv imagemagick-dev \
lftp libandroid-glob-dev openssh libtool-dev libpng libpng-dev
libtiff libtiff-dev libtiff-utils ltrace strace mc man-dev make-dev \
lua-dev luarocks mlocate ncurses-dev ncurses-utils nmap patch
p7zip php-dev pkg-config mpv procps python-dev qalc rsync sed tar
taskwarrior tcl-dev termux-api \
tesseract-dev tmate tracepath tree units unzip unrar vim wget
zip linux-man-pages
but a smaller subset should be sufficient, e.g. surely one doesn't need
gnuchess/cboard to compile ECL :)
So, in order to configure ECL 16.1.2 I did the following after unpacking
the sources:
1. $ export CONFIG_SHELL = $SHELL
2. Fix all configure and config.guess scripts to not use #!/bin/sh because
under Termux the shell is $PREFIX/bin/bash (and /bin is not accessible):
$ find -name 'configure' -exec termux-fix-shebang {} \;
$ find -name 'config.guess' -exec termux-fix-shebang {} \;
3. $ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX/local
This succeeds. And so I go on to
4. $ make
(this fails but due to a trivial thing --- some Makefiles contain hardcoded
"/bin/sh" references --- so I fix all these to refer to the proper location
of bash in Termux)
5. Re-run make after all these changes and it fails here:
$ make

So, then I check that those two definitions (link_map and r_debug) in
dyn_load.c are compatible with the system ones in link.h and comment them
out. Then I restart make and it goes on successfully for quite a while
until failing here:

error: invalid instruction
stmeqia r2, {r0, r1}
And this is where I get stuck because I don't know ARM instruction set. I
am a Linux kernel developer (or was, many years ago) and know C and a bit
of asm for x86 architecture, but not ARM.
Any ideas?
Btw, the reason I am trying to compile ECL for Termux is because the next
step would be to compile Maxima. I know that there is already Maxima for
Android but it is a GUI version and so not very convenient for the real
work. Real scientific work with Maxima can only be done in a text-based
terminal version (and plotting is irrelevant as it is much more convenient
to be done with python's matplotlib anyway which works perfectly under
Termux).
Kind regards,
Tigran
