Requires Qt5 framework regardless of -nox.

https://github.com/userdocs/qbittorrent-nox-static provide static binary. Can we use that?

[aicynide]

Its fully cli client why moved to x11?

[xtkoba]

Because Qt5 framework is packaged in x11 repo and a package in main repo cannot depend on packages in x11 repo.

[aicynide]

Oh

[maaaaz]

Can't it be possible to provide, in the main repo, a statically compiled version of qbittorent-nox for instance ?

That is expected.
The pre-compiled binary wasn't compiled against libbionic but most likely glibc.
This is the main reason all packages on Termux need to be compiled from source before being put in the repos.

Edit:
My bad, looks like the pre-compiled builds are built against MUSL libc.
Same incompatibility issues still apply.

Yes, for non-NDK binaries https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux apply.

You can try running it under termux-chroot (command provided by proot package). You may need the resolv-conf package to be able to resolve tracker hosts.

Confirmed, it works under termux-chroot:

On my phone, qbittorrent-nox-static works when using termux-chroot, but networking always fail (it won't connect to trackers & DHT).

I've tested on rtorrent (termux), the networking works fine and able to download the torrent.

but networking always fail (it won't connect to trackers & DHT).

Install resolv-conf package. The $PREFIX/etc/resolv.conf is not provided by default. termux-chroot will make it appear under /etc directory and the static binary should be able to do DNS resolution.

@sylirre Still not working.
I've installed resolv-conf. and adding $PREFIX/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

But still not work.
Btw, I'm using Android 12 & latest termux.

However if I'm using Orbot, qbittorrent-nox-static able to connect to HTTPS trackers.

[maaaaz]

Do you think a proper termux package could be created for qbittorrent-nox ?
Or is it out of the question.

[TomJo2000]

It's not merged yet, let's keep this open for the time being.

[TomJo2000]

Got both the GUI and headless versions building and packaging fine, will merge within 8-10 hours, I need to get some sleep first.
