Termux isn't ubuntu or debian so you don't need sudo.

You need to compile libsecret from source for now, until someone compiles the package for our repository

Requires gobject-introspection which is not available as Termux package.

Meson is required too, but it can be just downloaded from https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases/download/0.54.3/meson-0.54.3.tar.gz and added to PATH.

If you are trying to install code-server which requires keytar as npm dependency, then use

yarn global add code-server

That will eliminate requirement of libsecret.

Build-time dependency of libsecret gobject-introspection isn't going to be added, at least for now. Anyone who know how to properly cross-compile it is welcome to submit pull request.

Thank yours very mach/ Yes i want install server-code and without auth it is work.

But for the system to be complete, this library is needed.

Re-opening as libsecret is't available in termux.

One apparent use is as a Git credentials helper (source). I'd be quite interested in this.

@kcubeterm I was able to compile libsecret natively on my device with a simple patch , but faced issues while doing the same in the build environment (docker image)....it has compilation issues...

[creepy-pasta101]

Well.. since gobject-introspection is now available...
Hence libsecret

@xeffyr please close this

This should be more than add a binary, it needs to populate files within $PREFIX/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret,
I am unable to use libsecret to store my git credentials as there is nothing to make :(

Hello, I am unable to use libsecret with git.
Seems similar to @nerd190 's problem
Throws this error (after git push):

/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret get: 1: /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret: not found
