Installation script failed (luarocks, termux)

[xiaoshihou514]

I am aware of #539, but in the mean time, I have some issues bootstraping luarocks on termux.

If I try copying out sysdetect.lua and call the detect function (luajit), it will actually give me somewhat accurate output (sysv, aarch64). It's likely a bug in luarocks, but:

• a. I will put it here for reference
• b. Question: how did the installation script bootstrap luarocks? Through make? I am trying to fix this but I need more context.
  Thank you!

Duplicate of #208.

Question: how did the installation script bootstrap luarocks? Through make?

Yes.

Followup: rocks.nvim won't work on termux as android apps are prohibited to use hard links, which rocks.nvim currently uses when performing a sync. So don't bother trying manual installation :)

rocks.nvim should be creating soft links.
And it will only fail if you're using a fat32 filesystem, which to my knowledge is not the case for all Android systems.

locking this issue as it's a duplicate.
