+1, Termux support would be great

[complexspaces]

I hadn't heard of termux's API before, but I wouldn't be opposed to supporting this behind an opt-in feature flag. Would that be sufficient for your needs?

I don't think this could be the default because I do want to add proper Android clipboard support eventually (#56), but again the feature flag could work.

[AeriaVelocity]

A feature flag sounds good, yeah

[complexspaces]

This is going to be very low priority for me to implement, but I would review a PR that cleanly overrode the "platform clipboard" with a tmux implementation based on the discussed feature flag if anyone is interested in contributing.

I also encountered this problem.

I can't install chromadb in termux because of this issue.

I had to use ugly fix, below, also for chromadb:

Now it compiles:

but I wonder how to use it for chromadb, without further git cloning or playing with ~/.cargo/config.toml.

It should not be that way....

I preferred to at least have the X11 clipboard support working in Termux:X11, so I did this instead, which I have tested and which works for me:

pkg upgrade
pkg install x11-repo
pkg install termux-x11-nightly xfce firefox rust git
git clone https://github.com/1Password/arboard.git
cd arboard/
cargo vendor
find ./vendor -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -wholename ./vendor/x11rb-protocol -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
find . -type f | xargs -n 1 sed -i -e 's|android|disabling_this_because_it_is_for_building_an_apk|g' -e "s|/tmp|$PREFIX/tmp|g"
echo "" >> Cargo.toml
echo '[patch.crates-io]' >> Cargo.toml
echo "x11rb-protocol = { path = \"./vendor/x11rb-protocol\" }" >> Cargo.toml
# I also had to remove this 'unused_qualifications,' line
# from vendor/x11rb-protocol/src/lib.rs 
# for some reason to prevent a build error, seems unrelated
# https://github.com/psychon/x11rb/blob/44780c3c57c71c6ca64b6334ef2d573773813f17/x11rb-protocol/src/lib.rs#L49
vim vendor/x11rb-protocol/src/lib.rs
cargo build --all-features --examples
termux-x11 -xstartup xfce4-session &
export DISPLAY=:0
firefox & # copy an image to clipboard in firefox
target/debug/examples/get_image

that should help anyone using any reverse dependencies of arboard who at least wants X11 clipboard to work.
