1. Copy the script to Termux:

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Happ1ness-dev/BoxBuilder/refs/heads/main/boxbuilder -o $PREFIX/bin/boxbuilder && chmod +x $PREFIX/bin/boxbuilder

2. Run initial setup:

   boxbuilder

First Run Setup

You'll be prompted for:

1. Dependency installation + sem.h patching (recommended)
2. Box64 repository (cloning) path (default: ~/git-projects/box64)
3. Output directory for .rat packages (default: /sdcard/Download)

Configuration is saved to ~/.config/BoxBuilder/settings.conf

boxbuilder [command]

Commands:
  build           - Build box64
  build update    - Update repo & rebuild
  pull            - Update repository
  checkout [hash] - Switch to specific commit
