Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1184

Basically I think there is a way to export the display of X11 but not sure the best approach here is where I'm at

I've both installed the required xinit libaries I believe via https://askubuntu.com/questions/1256285/installing-xorg-without-gnome

Also I've tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=x.org.server&hl=en&gl=US
but I'm not sure what path vars to export etc

any tips? I can write out a guide for the rest of how to compile on android

The vars you really need for X11 are generally:

XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY. Maybe try that? If you can, please contribute a guide to the wiki (barrier-wiki.git repo, then I can merge into wiki), so others can benefit.
