Additional information I have not tried to compile it to my device because I don't know how. The program is written in Haskell, and so compilation is quite complicated. If anyone has any pointers to give me, I'd be happy to try and compile it. Perhaps, if I'm able to, even creating a pull-request.

Research direction
Investigate how to build darcs from source using its build system (cabal or stack). Look at existing package build scripts in termux packages repository (e.g., under packages/ directory) for examples. Check the issue comments for any additional guidance on compilation challenges. The main task is to create a build script that compiles darcs for Termux's environment.
