I'm trying to get Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH to work but I get this error:

The remote host may not meet VS Code Server's prerequisites for glibc and libstdc++

I searched for similar issues but I'm not sure if they help me:

g++ missing libstdc++ #121

I'm not sure what this means:

You need to explicitly link with -lgnustl_shared for a more fully featured C++ library - see http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support.html#system

Does it mean I have to compile Termux on my own?

I tried to install gcc (which it suggested to install via package clang), but after installing running gcc gives this error:

Crash while running code-server #6316

Not sure if these have to do with VSCode Remote SSH?

I've tried to install code-server but it gave error too:

Any ideas how to get VS Code Remote - SSH to work on Termux on Android?

I'm using:

Phone: Android 10, Termux v0.116
Desktop: Windows 10, VS Code v1.59.1

glibc != bionic libc which Android and hence Termux uses. This should be supported by Microsoft to work.

From where did you get gcc ? If its-pointless then it is known to be some what buggy. Termux official repo only provides clang and gcc is symlink to it.

And code-server works well with Termux . You can see here : https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/termux.md

From where did you get gcc ?

Via clang

I think the main issue is this error:

Missing GLIBC >= 2.17!

I tried to check glib version via two recommended methods, neither of which seem to work:

By running $ ldd --version

It gives error:
```
$ ldd --version    
objdump: '--version': No such file
```
I checked the same command in on an Ubuntu machine where it works correctly:
```
$ ldd --version
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9) 2.31
```
So the problem is probably Android/Termux.

By writing a test program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gnu/libc-version.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  printf("GNU libc version: %s\n", gnu_get_libc_version());
  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

But compiling it gives error:

$ gcc glibc-version.c -o glibc-version
glibc-version.c:3:10: fatal error: 'gnu/libc-version.h' file not found
#include <gnu/libc-version.h>
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Is there any other way to solve this:

Missing GLIBC >= 2.17!

Is code-server same as VS Code Remote - SSH?

I've manage to install code-server but I'm trying to get the latter to work.

No, it is vscode in browser. You can run code server in termux and access it through any browser on any device in your local network (or externally by port forwarding with services something like ngrok)

Related to glibc:

As stated previously Android uses it's own implementation of standard c (bionic). So you cannot uses gnu headers directly. It is based on code from OpenBSD, rather than glibc.
And also gcc is not the gnu c compiler it is just symlink to clang.

$ gcc --version
clang version 12.0.1
Target: aarch64-unknown-linux-android24
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin

If still you want to use glibc you should use ubuntu or any other distribution in proot in termux. More info here
