Yes you are.

But read the COMPILE.md doc https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/blob/master/docs/COMPILE.md , there are hints to not compile it and use ready-made packages.

You should go the the termux discord and ask for help on the gaming thread. Also, there are many script to automate the installation of box+wine+dxvk out there already

Also also, building native for termux is tricky, I suggest you use pre-made stuffs

As someone who has tried to run the compiling before, it is a nightmare

Sorry to hijack this bug report for my own questions.
I see a lot of pre-made termux + proot + box86/64 + wine + dxvk/vkd3d releases.
And you should be able to build it yourself as well.
But does it also run on Samsung Dex from the desktop launcher?
I know the exynos Samsung devices have crappy drivers, but the ones with a Snapdragon Soc can use the turnip drivers.
Sounds like nice idea to just plug your phone into a usb-c dock, and use box64 to launch Steam using wine and play a game of cs:go.
