Not working in Termux terminal app on Android

[edshamis]

I wanted to test bin in Termux terminal running on Android device. So I downloaded the latest release for Linux arm64 and got this error:

  • Getting latest release for marcosnils/bin
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Can you compile for aarch64 Android as well? I thought Linux arm64 would do but probably it doesn't

[marcosnils]

:wave: have you tried compiling to aarch64 manually to see if it'll work before pushing the change upstream?

[edshamis]

Please instruct me and I'll do it. Btw I managed to install bin through go: go install github.com/marcosnils/bin@latest, maybe you'd like to add it to readme

[marcosnils]

• clone this repository
• try running this CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build
• that will generate a bin binary in your machine that you should send to the android phone.

This one worked CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=android GOARCH=arm64 go build
