support for android termux

Open naveedpash opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hey guys, I'm considering moving to Julia simply because R depends heavily on compiling C/C++ code when installing packages. Unfortunately these packages were not written with android in mind as a platform which has completely different abi and libc. So I'm very excited to see that julia has a concept of binary builder/provider. Except can you guys create a platform_key for aarch64-libc-linux-android so I can use Julia on Termux for Android? Because a lot of binaries required by packages are on their repositories (e.g. arpack-ng for package Arpack)

Thank You!

The first order of business for Android support would be to have actual Julia binaries available for it. Does Julia successfully build on or cross-compile for Android?
