Thanks! To build nim on Termux, I had to patch config/nim.cfg and
csources/makefile - see below.
`uname` returns Linux, only `uname -o` returns Android.
Currently I have hijacked the `unix` target by adding `-landroid-glob -latomic`
to the linker flags. But this will probably fail for a non-Android Linux since
there isn't libandroid-glob. So, for a clean patch, I would have to know how I
can find out the value of `uname -o` within `nim.cfg`
Similar fixes have to be applied in csources/makefile where I could exec `uname
-o`
Furthermore on my Tablet, `uname -m` reports `armv8l` which isn't accounted for
in csources/makefile.
For the record, here is my recipe to build Nim on Termux
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
pushd Nim
git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources.git
patch -p0 < ../nim.cfg.patch
patch -p0 < ../csources.patch
./build_all.sh
for X in bin/{nim,nimble,nimgrep,nimsuggest,nimfind,nimpretty,testament}; do
cp $X $PREFIX/bin
done
