execinfo.h

[Rudloff]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the segfault-handler npm module but it does not build because it needs execinfo.h.
On Debian this file is part of libc6-dev but it does not seem to be available on Termux.
Do you think ti would be possible to add it?

The functions exposed by execinfo.h is not available on Android. See this Stackoverflow question and answers.

Would a stub header help to get things to compile (but not actually producing any backtrace)?

[Rudloff]

Thanks but I don't think a stub would be very useful.
I guess I will have to use gdb instead.

@fornwall That might help me. I'm having this issue because I'm trying to compile node in Termux. Compilation fails with 'execinfo.h' file not found, so if I could get that stub header, that might let me compile node.

I'm trying to compile node in Termux.

Node shouldn't require execinfo.h when building for Android if properly configured.

@xeffyr I didn't configure anything. I'm trying out nave under Termux. I just did nave install latest, and it automatically downloaded the latest source and tried to compile it.

But, it has the source downloaded now, so maybe I can see if I can tweak it and see if it'll work.

What's the proper way to write portable code for the missing header? Is there something like #ifdef termux?

@wuxb45 Use either #ifdef __ANDROID__ or #ifdef __TERMUX__.
