Run LFE on Android with Termux

Termux on Android runs Erlang as described in a previous post. I tried compile, install LFE with Termux, but it failed, probably due to path prefix, after which erl starting crashing as well.

We can however pre-compile it and transfer bin, ebin and include files with the same directory structure to $HOME/bin/lfe. Then add the path to .bashrc.

export LFE_BIN=$HOME/bin/lfe/bin
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$LFE_BIN:$PATH

Set executable permission to the files in lfe/bin with chmod +x lfe*.
Now run lfe which will start the LFE REPL!



Amazing isn't it? We have a full blown Lisp along with the power of Erlang on our fingertips now.
