Re: documentaion building for android

[Mike Rosset <mike rosset gmail com>]

Ok thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the libtool issue see if I
can find a better solution then linking to bash.

Which config.guess are you having issues with? with the linked sh to
bash, I was able build to build everything.
Worst case you can try a complete rebuild. I generally do

$ rm -r install/*
$ git checkout install

There might be a better way to do this using jhbuild but my hack seems
to do the trick and
avoids re-cloning and re-downloading everything.

Also I noticed between x86_64 32bit libs required for the ndk. There
are quite a few build dependencies needed
I'm in the process of documenting those, can I assume you've worked
around all those? this is what I have so far.

basic build depends:

build-essentials
gtk-doc-tools
libglib2.0-dev

x86_64 lib32 depends needed for android-ndk:

libc6-i386
lib32z1
lib32stdc++6
