How to enable this repository

Repository is not enabled in Termux by default. First enable it to be able to install its packages:

pkg install x11-repo

Using X11 on Termux

Programs using the X11 Windowing System cannot be used standalone like normal command-line utilities. Termux does not provide a native way for video output and therefore you will need to install additional software.

The recommended setup is a VNC server (package tigervnc) running on localhost and a VNC Viewer (by RealVNC Limited) Android application for accessing the video output.

There possible to use other Xserver solutions like XServer XSDL, but they are not guaranteed to work properly with our packages.

More information about setting up a graphical environment is on the Termux Wiki.

Only for Termux installations on Android 7.0 or higher.

Building packages

You can build all packages manually by using the provided docker image. The only requirements are Linux-based host with Docker installed.

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/termux/x11-packages
   

2. Enter build environment (will download docker image if necessary):

   cd ./x11-packages
   ./start-builder.sh
   

3. Choose package you want to build and run:

   ./build-package.sh -a ${arch} ${package name}
   

   Replace ${arch} with target CPU architecture and ${package name} with package name you want to build.

xterm and aterm: bad system call on Android Pie

The title says it all. Running up to date Termux and x11-repo with fluxbox and tigervnc, xterm and aterm crash immediately /do not launch. Happening both from the command line within Termux, where "Bad system call" is displayed, and when trying to launch aterm from the fluxbox menu.

This is on a stock Pixel 3XL running Android Pie

package request: xournal/xournalpp

Package description
xournal is probably the best program available for annotating PDF files. I tried zillions of native android apps, but no one has the capabilities of xournal (for example the automatic recognition of geometric figures) and such a clean annotation code (the annotations are not in bitmap form but in a svg-like fashion).
This application would be a great one especially if it could work ok with an active pen.

Thanks!

[Package Request] : plotutils

Description:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotutils

pango-dev breaks with libgtk3-dev so I can't build GTK+ apps.

Hardware acceleration inside Termux

We can use GLES inside termux with output to Xserver even if the server does not support it.
@NotKit did it using lihybris. We do not need libhybris to access libEGL.so or libGLESv2.so.
The idea is simple: we have some library that wraps libEGL functions. When program tries to eglGetDisplay() on X11 window the wrapper creates the android native window and binds it to X11 window. If xserver does not support drihybris extension it dumps native window image to shmem and sends it to xserver.

To make it possible inside Termux we will need to use Gralloc or to use GraphicBuffer some way. Also we will need some android headers. Android supports AHardwareBuffers that can be used for this purpose, but it is available only for O+ devices. And that's the main problem. @xeffyr Can we somehow solve it?

Qt: missing pkg-config files

Problem description
I'm not able to compile wxWidgets with Qt toolkit.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Qt dev package
2. Run ./configure --enable-unicode --with-qt

Expected behavior
It correctly finds Qt.

Additional information
Updatable packages:
All packages up to date
System information:
Linux localhost 3.18.71-perf-gb710f0e #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 8 12:34:52 CEST 2018 aarch64 Android
Termux-packages arch:
aarch64
Android version:
8.1.0
Device manufacturer:
bq
Device model:
Aquaris X Pro

wxWidgets uses pkg-config Qt5Core and the other pkg-config files from Qt.

(And finally: I didn't use the templates in my other issues because GitHub doesn't show them in mobile version.)

Need of vulkan

I am now working on shrinking the image of termux/package-builder. Actually, is the Vulkan API provided by the Android NDK required in order to build these packages? Thanks!

This happens in the latest docker image, after x11-packages/scripts/setup-build-environment.sh has been run. This SO question might be related https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50785575/configuring-qtbase-fails-with-an-error-could-not-find-qmake-spec, and concludes that libseccomp2 needs to be updated, or that the docker image should be run with --security-opt seccomp:unconfined, but that didn't help for me

package request : xrdp

I'd like to use RDP instead of VNC to remotely connect to my phone. xrdp and xorgxrdp would allow me to do that.

Package description
xrdp provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp accepts connections from a variety of RDP clients: FreeRDP, rdesktop, NeutrinoRDP and Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android).
See https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/blob/devel/README.md for details

RDP transport is encrypted using TLS by default.

Package request: Python-qt5

Now that we have qt5-base it should be possible to build the python-bindings for it, right? Installing PyQt5 via pip is not possible for Termux, because it is only provided for 64 bit Linux and Windows. So it needs to be built from source.

PyQt is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt,

Package request: virtual keyboard (onboard/qvkbd/florence)

Onboard is a virtual keyboard for X11. It would allow using the x11 packages with XSDL without a physical keyboard attached.

Notes
I'm suggesting Onboard since I've tried it before on my PC, but similar programs such as qvkbd or any other in this list would do just fine if easier to port

Prefer xterm to aterm

Can you add xterm back to x11.thanks

Package request: Emacs GUI

From @Linden6 on September 6, 2018 21:58

Although the terminal version of Emacs is available in the main Termux package repository, it would be useful to have the GUI version available so that graphics were supported within it. (Most of the orgmode files that I work on contain thumbnail images that I can then click on to open in an image viewer. It would be useful to be able to replicate this behaviour in Android.)

Thanks.
