Looks like you need to pkg install ninja first before python bindings can be installed

./src/subprocess-posix.cc:26:10: fatal error: 'spawn.h' file not found

And also install libandroid-spawn.

Nope, same error

Error looks completely different to me. Try adding -landroid-spawn to LDFLAGS, with something like export LDFLAGS+=" -landroid-spawn".

RSwarnkar · 2022-08-06T06:15:44Z

Hi @Grimler91 thanks for suggestions about the landroid-spawn , but throws a new kind of error : I tried installing pkg install re2c still the same error.

warning: A compatible version of re2c (>= 0.11.3) was not found; changes to src/*.in.cc will not affect your build.

Any suggestions for this
Detailed log:

Install binutils

RSwarnkar · 2022-08-06T11:13:05Z

@Grimler91 WHOA !! You are awesome man ! Works like charm.

So here is all what I did (reference for anonymous):

Install build essentials: pkg install clang or/and pkg install build-essential
pkg install ninja
install libandroid-spawn
export LDFLAGS+=" -landroid-spawn"
pkg install binutils
Finally try: pip install ninja

Cheers !

I'm having the same error as @egeres despite installing binutils and libandroid-spawn and adding it to LDFLAGS. And the output doesn't clearly say what the problem is, just that command failed. It looks like ElideMiddle.ElideInTheMiddle test fails but i'm not sure.

After a closer inspection of a log i found more test failures, probably libandroid-spawn doesn't do something these tests expect?

Interestingly, it reproduces with this same log on both android 7 and android 9

For now i managed to work around this by cloning https://github.com/scikit-build/ninja-python-distributions, checking out the latest version and setting RUN_NINJA_TEST to OFF in CmakeLists.txt. Then simply pip install .. But it doesn't look like a safe thing to do and i'm not sure it will work properly. It also doesn't help if ninja is a dependency of some other package, because when installing build dependencies pip alsways uses --ignore-installed and seems to ignore export PIP_IGNORE_INSTALLED=0, thus trying to build ninja and failing.

I don't know if this can be useful for anybody, but problem is subprocess_test.cc (line 35) which runs "ls /" as test command and on android that fails with "permission denied". Changing it for example to "ls /sdcard/" works.
This means that patching or skipping tests should be safe.

@alexpira is root permission the only workaround? Termux-setup-storage doesn't work.

sylirre · 2023-06-17T20:42:27Z

@aseok termux-chroot may help to workaround ls / permission issue. Editing the source code is another variant, if you are familiar with that.

Root is not needed.

I don't know why I am getting this....

sylirre · 2024-01-23T10:15:50Z

@xhy2008 Just don't install ninja this way.

It is enough to do pkg install ninja. I remind that Termux patches most of its packages (I mean those which are available in our repo by pkg / apt) in order to compile them without issues and ninja is not exception.

Now if you need to install some Python module requiring ninja, you need to pass flag --no-build-isolation to the pip. This will prevent pip from installing build tools already present in the system.
