Termux-packages: Package request: mono

It would be fantastic if mono support was included in termux to at least run cli applications.

Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into trying a cross compile soon, for future reference when looking into this:

• Mono on ARM information
• Stackoverflow post about cross compiling to Android ARM
• Stackoverflow post about cross compiling to Android x86

I started a wiki page to keep track of package suggestions and have added Mono there!

Hi, I am reopening this issue. Package requests will now be labeled and tracked as an issue.

Take a look at this!!

Is there any way to provide deb packages to the repository for this ?

Mono is available in Termux through PRoot Arch Linux. Tapping this link https://sdrausty.github.io/TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh will transfer setupTermuxArch.sh to your device. Simply run bash ~/storage/downloads/setupTermuxArch.sh to install Arch Linux. Then run pacman -S mono. Enjoy 🎼

Hey guys, I have compiled Mono for Termux without proot. Check out termux-mono.

@IanusInferus Can you create package for Termux? I think there will be others want to try it!

[IanusInferus]

@beginor It's a good idea, but there are a few difficulties. First, the class libraries can not be compiled on Android as they need a working mono to bootstrap, so it's copied from a Linux build. Second, a libc.so.6 symbol link is needed as many class libraries assume it.
Currently, you can download the prebuilt files from my repo and add the symbol link to use, if you don't want to build by yourself.
