How to install x11 headers on android?

[jk22]

Hello,

I'm using cppdroid and wrote a c code running a window on x11 (originally Ubuntu Linux) and installed a xserver on android. How could i compile this code on Android knowing it lacks the x11 headers ? Thanks.

Maybe this is a silly suggestion, but would it be possible (and easier) to cross compile?

I don't know what you mean by this. Is it to compile under linux and put the executable on android ?

Yes. Many compilers will let you specify the target architecture of code you're compiling. Ordinarily, when your compiler is running on a particular OS, the code you compile will run on that same OS. A cross compiler will generate code that will run under a different OS/architecture.

I'm not familiar with X11, but if your code is intended to run on Android, I'm reasonably sure it has the same or similar functionality as is available in X11.
