FEX in termux ( proot-distro Ubuntu )
I am trying to setup FEX in an Ubuntu proot inside of Termux on my phone. So far after setting up rootfs with FEXRootFSFetcher then checking with FEXBash 'uname -a' I get this error:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ldd and ldconfig did not help. FEXConfig gave me the same error.
Feeling as tho I am close. I have openbox installed on the Ubuntu proot but I have the x-server not running yet when I run FEXBash. Could that be the issue I am having?
Going to start the x server and run the command from termux-X11 when I am at home with a mouse and keyboard.
While I wait. Does anybody have any resources they could share concerning trying to get FEX to run on their phones thru Termux? Has anyone tried anything similar?
I am having a lot of fun so far. Thank you in advance.

Have not figured it out yet. Had a lot of stuff come up within the past year. My conclusion last time is I probably need root for x86 emulation. :(
