Trouble building from source in Termux

[shaunmulligan]

Hi, perhaps a bit of an odd setup, but I am trying to build can-utils from source with in termux running on a rooted android device. I have all the necessary kernel modules built into android and can run can-utils tools from a docker container within termux, but I need the tools in the termux user space so that I can forward can0 traffic to a vxcan interface for the containers to use.

It almost builds but hits the following error, can you point me in the right direction to potentially patch this to build well within termux or how to just build what is necessary to use the cangw command. Thanks!

Does this fix your problem: https://github.com/marckleinebudde/can-utils/tree/program_invocation_short_name

[shaunmulligan]

@marckleinebudde awesome, yes it does!! I still have an issue with the make install because its trying to put it somewhere it shouldn't, but this gets things installed! Thanks so much!

[marckleinebudde]

BTW: see https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/blob/master/README.md#cmake-project-generator for Android and Android Studio integration.

[shaunmulligan]

Awesome, I had seen that but really needed can-utils in termux to help me stand up a vxcan interface which I could use with in docker containers. Is https://github.com/marckleinebudde/can-utils/tree/program_invocation_short_name something you would consider merging in?

[marckleinebudde]

Thinking of a better solution...which build system are you using to build the sources? Plain make or ./autogen.sh && make or cmake?

[shaunmulligan]

Hi, sorry for the late response. Currently using ./autogen.sh && make

Ultimately I would like to try get can-utils added to https://github.com/termux/termux-packages officially
