Compile aclock on Termux

Sun, 17 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Aclock is a another clock program, but this time it's an analog clock.

To compile it on Termux you'll need to downloaded the source.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tenox7/aclock/master/sources/aclock-unix-curses.c

You'll also need the ncurses-dev package.

apt install ncurses-dev

Now you simply have to compile it.

gcc aclock-unix-curses.c -o aclock -lncurses -lm

After that you can simply run it with ./aclock.

Compile Stag on Termux

Sat, 16 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

This post is now obsolete. You can install stag from the repository.

Stag is a cool little programm that generates a bar graph.

To compile it on Termux you'll need to downloaded the sources from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/seenaburns/stag.git

To compile you need to install the ncurses-dev package.

apt install ncurses-dev

Open the stag.c file and change line 90 from char opt to signed char opt, otherwise it will throw an error during compilation. You'll also need to make a change to the Makefile, so that the right compiler is used. Change line 1 from CC ?= gcc to cc = gcc. After that you can simply use make to compile and install it.

make
make install

Examples

CPU usage statisitc

while true; do top -bn1 | grep "CPU:" -m 1 | cut -f1 -d"." | cut -f2 -d" " ;sleep 1; done | stag -t "CPU"

Android battery status

while true; do termux-battery-status | jq .percentage;sleep 60; done | stag -t "Battery Stats"

Compile tty-clock on Termux

Sat, 16 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000

This post is now obsolete. You can install tty-clock from the repository.

Tty-clock is a small program that displays a digital clock.

To compile it on Termux you'll need to download the sources from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/xorg62/tty-clock.git

You'll also need the ncurses-dev package.

apt install ncurses-dev

Sadly, compiling with make doesn't really work with this one, I managed to compile it with the following command.

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -std=c99 -pedantic -Wno-unused-parameter -lncurses -o tty-clock ttyclock.c

You can then install it with make install.
