OpenGLES?
Is it possible to access the Android OpenGLES library from Termux? I'd like to build Android apps from within Termux, but this is the only thing stopping me.
RIf you look at $PREFIX/include, there's "important" directory, which EGL/, GLES/, GLES2/ and GLES3/ (i guess it's from package
mesa or opengl?), which afaik, is C/C++ OpenGL ES Header located in those Dirs, but based on your Question (which i guess you want build .apk file), you have to use Android NDK + Android SDK to do that, with At least some C/C++ Skill, and obviously Kotlin/Java skill to make the App.

LI can make the APKs, I just need OpenGL(ES). I looked, but it doesn't seem like installing the toolchain gives me those headers or libraries.
LInteresting, I'll check it out
Oif you are trying to build an actual APK and then copy it to /storage/emulated/0/ and install it using something like
LI can build the apk
LI literally just need OpenGLES
LThat is the last thing required
OOthen i know how to do what you want
Obut the hard parts are just:
LI'm using just C and make, no gradle
LI need the core
libGLES2 library and GLES headersO- it's different for every different app. since your app is in C with make it's different. and one of my apps is the same way, C with make, but every app is a little bit different so even my app is different from your app, probably
O- the
.sofile you need is preinstalled and available. it is at/system/lib64/libGLESv2.soand itsSONAME(internal data) is "libGLESv2.so"
O- the headers you want are in the package that comes from
pkg install libglvnd-devand they are in$PREFIX/include/GLES2/folder after you install it
O- however, one tip i have for you is DO NOT install the
libglvndpackage. ONLYlibglvnd-devpackage. otherwise something really annoying will happen that's tedious to work around.
O- if you already have the
libglvndpackage installed, try to uninstall it. if it says that removing it will remove something else you need, then tell me and I'll tell you what you have to do, which is a tedious workaround.
Odoes this help you? if you want to, if you send me your code , i might be able to make a script that compiles your app for you
LI already have the Makefile for my app
LI believe clang is for android 24, so as long as I target that, I should be good.
LThis should be all I need
Oyes also you don't need to add
--target to clang just run clang and it will automatically compile for your deviceLI know
Obut if you ever need to send your APK to someone else,
Oyou have to set up something complicated (multi native architecture apk) otherwise there will be an error for only some people (people who have 32 bit and people who have android-x86)
LI'm aware
Oand i know how to do that too but theres a lot of ways to do it and the last person i told how, unfortunately i made a whole solution specifically for their app but they gave up and decided to not support anything except 64 bit arm
LAll I should need is ARM64 since I have no need to put in on anything else, but my stuff will have the option to do so if needed
LI can build a new clang toolchain with Cosmopolitan
libcWhich would also allow multi arch compilation from my ARM64 device
LI'll actually do that later, but for now, this should be all I need
Oi feel like i heard a rumor or something that if you use cosmopolitan libc it's not allowed on google play or something like that but that might not be important for you especially if you dont use google play. also i dont know the specifics
LI don't plan on using Cosmopolitan for the actual app
LJust the toolchain
Ooh ok
L(Might mess around with Cosmopolitan apps though)
LThat aside
LTy sm
Oi see someone else kind of already said what i said but you said it still didn't work, what error did you see?
LI don't exactly remember. I believe it was conflicts with the library file. Now that I know I can get thr headers separate from the library though, it should be easier now
Oand if you have any other problem you can ask me because i think i might be among very few people who has compiled a lot of APKs inside termux using termux Clang. most people here do not do it.
LI'll keep that in mind. Ty sm!
LThis will make otg app dev so much easier now
Ooh and i can see youre in a mario 64 server too, if your app has anything to do with mario 64 then you can probably copy code from me because ive made a lot of code for mario 64 android
LIt's not, but I'll mess with it eventually
LProbably by porting it to Quest (3) standalone
