LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Waydroid SlackBuild?

Waydroid SlackBuild?

Is there a SlackBuild to package Waydroid Android emulator for Slackware?
If not, are there build instructions to build Waydroid on Slackware?

I had in the past build it and it was running with this command: /usr/bin/waydroid -w container start
I search and found my old slackbuilds for this packages, i build and install ok but it not running because it need a dependency python3-gbinder

But i tried to build from ponce repo as i m in current and I have errors. Give me some time ...

edit: take the Slackbuild maybe you have better luck before me

Doesn't it need the kernel's binder module?
That's not enabled in Slackware, so you will have to compile your own

SlackBulids for that already exist.

Update: Actually, those aren't the binder_linux module. Is there a binder_linux SlackBuild somewhere?
Update 2: Here it is: https://github.com/choff/anbox-modul.../master/binder
But I get an error:

Code:

Your kernel does not support KProbes, but this is required to compile binder as a kernel module

If I bypass that error and "insmod binder_linux.ko binder_linux.ko", I get this when running "./waydroid init":

Code:

No such file or directory: '/dev/binderfs/binder-control'

I builded 3 times kernel 6.7.8

Code:

CONFIG_ANDROID=y

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=m

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=n

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"

BUT

Code:

[02:25:19] Failed to load binder driver

[02:25:19] modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.7

[02:25:19] ERROR: Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found

[02:25:19] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid>

enough for today...

You need the binder kernel module.

I builded a zen kernel and it works

You rebuild the entire kernel?
Can't you just build the binder kernel module?

there are multiple options for this, since "Building a kernel" failed 3 times, I decided to build the zen kernel and not only use zen headers... sometimes we want a stable good result even if more time needed than a forth failure at 4:00 AM :D

I'm not familiar with zen kernel. Why'd you chose that one?

It was a spur of the moment decision. First because I knew waydroid will finally run for sure, and then I test it on the specific laptop (cpu)...
Builded using my oldconfig just edit and add

Code:

CONFIG_ANDROID=y

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=n

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"

No initrd used, with grub everything ok...

I have two differences. I enabled binderfs and I used an initrd. And I can't get it working.

Running

Code:

./waydroid.py show-full-ui

as non-root user in Weston, I get:

Code:

WayDroid container is not listening.

Code:

./waydroid.py container start

still hangs.
What do you think I should change?

Update: I noticed that I didn't have a "CONFIG_ANDROID=y" line in my .config. I'm rebuilding now and will let you know if that helps. It probably will.

@Geremia https://github.com/rizitis/waydroid-...ADME.Slackware

But its not working properly imo...
And its not slackware problem... there are Waydroid bugs which effects lot of distros.
In other words I m not happy with it... there are better solutions out there... ;)

Thank you!
I built the kernel with

Code:

CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS=y

And am running under Weston.
I get this issue when trying to install an APK:

Code:

Failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again...

Thanks to the tg://resolve?domain=WayDroid channel, I got the help I needed. I needed to run

Code:

waydroid upgrade -o

to get rid of the ashmem references that were lying around from before. It works now, in Weston!

nice, I have a simple app in google-play store just for fun, but you can download apk from here https://github.com/rizitis/SofoRevma/releases/tag/10.0

of course it will be Greeks for u :D but if you want tell me if its running ok for you in waydroid..
