Compiling Lilypond on Termux

[nagymusic]

I successfully installed Lilypond music notation software using Termux on my Android (version 12) tablet, but I can't view the PDF after compiling the file.

Here's the error message I received (I highlighted the error message I'm trying to understand):

~ $ lilypond [[myfile.ly](http://myfile.ly/)](http://myfile.ly/)

#

In procedure open_iconv_descriptors: invalid or unknown character encoding LATIN1

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue, or where can I seek help?

Thanks so much!

Hi, I have already faced this issue from my termux and I got the solution from my system when I raised this concern over the blackbox, and I got the solution from there. I hope you will find the same way. Regards Farmaan
