Android 4.x ONLY - FTL not updating to v5.19.2 after "p4a-install" about pi-hole-for-android HOT 11 CLOSED

Should I start from scratch with the new Pi Deploy installation method? Or is it possible to fix with previous installation method?

Hi I'm looking into this... Ideally if you're on Android 5.x or newer, go with the new Pi Deploy package.

I'm not seeing your reported issue but I do have a problem compiling pihole-FTL due to a new build dependency upstream.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Looks like pihole-FTL v5.19 requires Nettle 3.4.1
CentOS 7 ships with 2.7-ish

Yea, I went with a new deploy and everything is working fine. Thanks.
No point no more sticking with CentOS 7.

Good to hear, thanks for the feedback.

For Legacy Android 4.x devices, run:

sudo rpm -ivh https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/raw/legacy/rpm/nettle-3.4.1-7.el7.armv7hl.rpm https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/raw/legacy/rpm/nettle-devel-3.4.1-7.el7.armv7hl.rpm --force

Re-run p4a-install and pihole-FTL will compile normally.

Getting below error when running p4a-install on android 4.4

I have updated Nettle as suggested above.

These are just (new) warnings but harmless... the build should finish successfully.

Looks like 512mb ram isn't enough to perform this update operation. My phone got super slow while updating. I waited for about 20 mins but the ssh connection closed automatically.

Looks like the end of road for 4.x devices. I had a good run with this project on this device. But it looks like I'll need to find alternate solutions. Either a newer distro or newer device.

Reboot your device and start fresh - it could take that long or longer on a device so resource constrained.
It may take a couple of tries but it should work.
If your SSH connection is being dropped you can try temporarily enabling the telnet server (and disable localhost only).
Telnet in on 5023 and run linuxdeploy shell
You'll be dropped into the chroot and re-try p4a-install from there.

Hey

I am running pihole on android 4.1

and I ran this command: sudo rpm -ivh https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/raw/legacy/rpm/nettle-3.4.1-7.el7.armv7hl.rpm https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/raw/legacy/rpm/nettle-devel-3.4.1-7.el7.armv7hl.rpm --force

and then "p4a-install" but i still getting errors.

/etc/pihole/versions: line 14: invalid: command not found
/etc/pihole/versions: line 15: Command:: command not found
/etc/pihole/versions: line 16: Try: command not found

should I be worried?
