Android + Termux + Emacs | Spacemacs initialization error

[nixmaniack]

I'm trying to use Spacemacs on my Android using Termux, but it's not going through initialization process fully. Following error is shown in *Messages* buffer.
custom-initialize-reset: Args out of range: 0

Even using --debug-init doesn't give backtrace. Any help?

I doubt emacs25 is an issue here as I'm using emacs25 on Mac without any issues.

System Info 💻

• OS: gnu/linux
• Emacs: 25.0.94

mmmmhh maybe try to bissect with message in init.el. Sorry I cannot help a lot on this one :-)

[nixmaniack]

So, excluding exec-path-from-shell and using ivy instead of helm got spacemacs working. Although I'm not able to quit emacs now and throws this error.

I have to kill -9 from terminal for now.

Some more errors. Org mode works only when org-mode packages are freshly installed(I think before byte-compiling) after that it throws following error.

Also, the colors of far left indicators seems mismatched. Any way to fix it? Is it because of daemon mode?

[TheBB]

Pretty sure we fixed that in develop. You're running master?

[nixmaniack]

I'm on develop.

[bergmannf]

I get them same error as @nixmaniack - org-mode work when it's updated, but once you restart it will run into the (require . bytecomp) error again.

I tried removing all *.elc files to check if maybe it has something to with the files having been byte-compiled, but that didn't help either.

[tidux]

I've noticed some errors about parsing and reaching EOF when Spacemacs initializes under Termux. These may be related, especially if the long prefix that ~ resolves to under Termux is causing path-too-long errors.

[Compro-Prasad]

@nixmaniack Any updates on this one?

[nixmaniack]

Looks like it is working fine these days. Although Emacs version is 26 in Termux repo. Not sure what fixed it though. I'll close this now.
