Android Support

[robertkirkman]

I am running the program on the distro Android (Termux app from F-Droid store which causes Android to behave as a desktop Linux distro with roughly similar traits and behavior to Alpine Linux)

and it worked at least for the task to convert a multiple file PS1 game consisting of 21 .bin files and one .cue file into a .pkg file for running on PS3.

This issue is just to show the commands that worked for me so others can find them.

Video recording of the installation and conversion process requested by a user who asked for it

[sahlberg]

Very nice. Do you want to add this to the README file and send as a pull request to me? That way you get proper credits for your contribution in the git change history.

[robertkirkman]

Well, I could but also, I found the requirement of multiple git repositories to be just a little confusing,

Is there a specific reason this repository doesn't include the external libraries as git submodules? If I refactor it to use git submodules, all the code could be downloaded at once with a command like git clone --recursive https://github.com/sahlberg/pop-fe.git.

[robertkirkman]

Well, there is a function install_deps() which does automatically download some of the other repositories, https://github.com/sahlberg/pop-fe/blob/075585f6a2e6c46956ce7b6312e5d428ab02efcd/pop-fe.py#L3671-L3682 but to explain one of the small problems I encountered that is why I had to install dependencies manually rather than using the command ./pop-fe.py --install , On Android unfortunately the command pip install pillow does not work successfully, https://github.com/sahlberg/pop-fe/blob/075585f6a2e6c46956ce7b6312e5d428ab02efcd/pop-fe.py#L3590-L3596 the correct command for Android to get that dependency is currently pkg install python-pillow so, it can be seen that unfortunately on some Linux distros, the exact shell commands to run from the Python script to install dependencies can vary slightly, and it's these users who might find support for git clone --recursive a little more convenient.

[sahlberg]

I see. The only reason I don't use submodules is just because I didn't set it up like that.

I am happy to add these as submodules. Please send me a pull request that adds them as submodules and I will merge it. Don't worry about the .github/workflow. I will fix that up and change it to use the submodules once merged.
