Android normally doesn't run native Linux programs but Java programs in a Java VM.

I guess you have to root your phone to run binaries like the dedicated server. I'm not sure if this would work though.

1. Android CAN run native Linux binaries.
2. Most Android phones/tablets have ARM processors, which can't run x86 (32-bit) programs. Some of them (quite rarely) have MIPS processor. Find out which does your have.
3. To run the binaries, get an application called Terminal Emulator (it's on the Play Store) - you'll get a bash-like terminal (real bash terminal if you are rooted and have Busybox installed)
4. To have many commands normally avaible on Linux PCs install Busybox (it will give you things like bash, dd, mv/cp, unzip, tar and so on)
5. To run cs2d_dedicated you'd need:
• Linux ARM binary (the one released is x86 Linux) - if the server is C(++), it should be quite easy to port it
• libstd++ v5 (AFAIR). It could be hard work, but possible to cross-compile it for ARM using your PC. Then you can make static binary so the server is in one file


Summary: You need DC's help for that. DC would have to compile the dedicated server for ARM Linux (search for ARM Android toolchain or NDK) and libs it requires, then add them to the server's binary.


Question: Do you really need that? Your IP is for 99% random on the phone unless you have DSL connection on your PC, you make an Access Point out of it and give your phone a static IP. It just isn't going to work outside your home.

Of course it doesn't make sense to run a CS2D server on a smartphone and I wouldn't invest any time to try to make it work.
