Re: Lilypond in Termux (Android)

Maybe you need to run the termux-setup-storage command?

Maybe the location where you have your .ly file is read-only for Termux?

It's working for me. Communication between files inside the Termux directories and other locations and apps (like my pdf viewer) on my tablet is a bit awkward, but it works.

o.k. out of rampant curiosity I gave it a try on termux. And can't seem to get any output. I managed to download lilypond 2.24.0 and extract it and the chmod to make executable. Added a shebang and ran it on a file.  it appears to work, but either there is no actual output, or it gets placed somewhere unknown to me. Any ideas what I am not doing correctly? Googling hasn't provided an answer but maybe I was asking the wrong question.

Shane

Hi,

Recently I discovered that LilyPond is available for Termux, a Linux-like terminal app for Android devices.

Unfortunately it crashed my older (32bits) Samsung tablet, but it did run on my (64bits) phone. After my bugreport on Github something was fixed in the Guile package built for Termux a few days ago and now I am able to use LilyPond on Android. Hurray!

If you want to try LilyPond on your Android device: First install Termux on your device using F-droid instead of directly from Google Play Store. I think Termux is not updated on Google Play anymore.

Just wanted to share this with the Lilypond community.
