Is there a particular reason you are unable to use a pre-compiled binary?
Is there a precompiled binary?
There doesn't appear to be one.
There's gotta be a pre-compiled i386 version of grub available.
Void Linux has one.

wait...
Idk actually.
hmm build script lists i686, depending how old a system you are dealing with that may not work.
Ah crap the maintainer is set as
orphaned too.Can it run in Termux?
Well no.
Grub is a bootloader.
And you are not going to circumvent the Android bootloader from within an unrooted Android system.
I don't need to replace my bootloader. It can't be unlocked anyways. All I really need to do is have it make an ISO.
burning an ISO image is usually done with the
dd command.
Or with the mkisofs command.
Although I'm not sure if you can actually create a functional ISO image in Termux, android may not allow that operation.
Also be very careful if you end up trying it with the dd command.
It's nicknamed data destroyer for a reason.
dd does a bit-for-bit copy of an input to an output, so always triple check any dd command before running it.All I need is to do is make an iso with a grub i386-pc bootloader and the compiled kernel my OS.
And you don't have any computer to do it with?
I can't really find any image writer with a Arm64 build.
Rufus does have an Arm build, but it's only shipping a Windows executable.
I do, but I'm trying to work on my OS remotely, without a computer.
I don't need an image writer. All I need to do is create an ISO. I can get the image off my phone as well.
Wait, so you are basically trying to connect remotely to a different machine?
Are you sure you aren't looking for SSH and/or a Remote Desktop Protocol.
No. I'm trying to get all the tools to build my OS on my phone. I've made a gcc cross-compiler, installed qemu, and installed a DE.
Ah
Sorry I wasn't able to help with that.
It's 4 am over here, I think I'm just gonna get some sleep.
Go ahead and sleep
Trust me
Sleep deprivation is not fun
