Building a package

To build a package, first clone termux-root-packages and cd into the new directory

git clone https://github.com/termux/termux-root-packages
cd termux-root-packages

If you want to build a package with the docker container run

./start-builder.sh ./build-package.sh name-of-package

You might have to run the command as root, if you have not configured docker to be run as your user.

To build outside the docker container you can run

git submodule update --init
./termux-packages/build-package.sh ../packages/package-to-build)

../ is needed since termux-packages/build-package.sh expects the path given (packages/package-to-build) to be relative to the position to the build-package.sh script.
