Re (2): Correction: Re: a Debian executable on Android
Yes, I was studying how to write apps but I'll be 62 in a few months
myself, I may not live that long. Not to mention I've been trying to
"repo sync" (git-based) their source tree for about 6 weeks to try to
compile under OpenBSD. I just hit 9 gigs, no idea how much is left.
I'm trying Lazarus which can cross-compile to an impressive list of
platforms, including Android. http://www.getlazarus.org There's some
version in Debian packages too.
Android has their own variant of selinux that's not totally compatible
with the original, which defaults to enforcing mode since Android 5.
If the device is rooted you can switch it to permissive mode.
