Is it possible to use magic-wormhole on Ubuntu Touch
-
I searched for it in the libertine installer, and the Lubuntu software centre, but was unable to find it.
I usually install it on Debian type machines by:sudo apt install magic-wormholeThis is the developer's site : https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
This is how it works if anyone is interested. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFrTqQw0_3c
I recently started using this software and I absolutely love it. It would be awesome to use it on my phone.

From what you explain, I guess there is probably not a package available for arm architecture for your software.
You can still try to cross-compile it yourself...
-
@AppLee right ! i'd be very much interested in doing that myself - looks like a very nice tool ! could you point me to the right direction to start ?

@Emphrath
Sure,
First I'll have a look there: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/index.html#tools
Have a look at how clickable works and how to add dependencies to the click.So, to summarize it you'll need to:
- Create a project
- Add dependencies so the docker image of ubuntu for arm will install them
- And finally build the project within this docker image.
Clickable is a great tool and it makes life easier. But integrating dependencies and building can be as well straightfoward or a real PITA
Best of luck

HMU if you get it working.

As it happens magic-wormhole has an arm version available, since it's been developped for rapsberry pi: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/m/magic-wormhole/
here are the various deb packages. I tried to install one of them through libertine and it doesn't work. I'll try again though
-
@AppLee maybe I could try in a rapsbian container, rather than xenial ?

@Emphrath
IIRC Rasbian is at least in 18.04 if the difference lies here, then porting magic-wormhole to 16.04 might become more tricky.
But I guess you can try ; at least you'll have a hint regarding your problem.

@AppLee alright !
