[Feature Request] Compile for android via termux arm64 and for raspberry arm32/arm64

[yashikada]

I would like to use securefs on Android via termux and on Raspberry, but the compilation is not successful, could you provide the already compiled binaries?

[netheril96]

How did you compile and what are the error messages?

I don't have an Android with termux or Raspberry, so I cannot build it for you.

[yashikada]

for build you can use crosscompiling, github actions has it.
For raspberry I use debian which has securefs old versions.
I cloned your repository and microsoft/vcpkg, I used your python script build.py for build, the same parameters used on github action.
On raspberry stuck on bootstrapping for hours, while on termux I got this error:

python build.py --lto --enable_unit_test --enable_integration_test --vcpkg_root=$PWD/../vcpkg --build_root=./build

I set the environment variable VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES = arm as suggested from bootstrapping

@yashikada, can you install flatpak in your raspberry?

I have a project called SiriKali and i bundle securefs with the flatpak build.

You can get it through my project, you can build securefs using flatpak with my flatpak manifest file or you can build it manually by first build and install all necessary dependencies and you can get the list of dependencies and where to get them by looking at the manifest file.

The section in the manifest file for building securefs is below.

Thank you, I will try even if I have now converted everything to gocryptfs.
