I've downloaded the source from https://android.googlesource.com and I now want know if I can compile the libraries(bionic) and Dalvik VM using a cross compiler? If yes, how can I do that?

  • to be more specific, I mean the system libraries like bionic, webkit, sql lite, etc..if i do a make to get the emulator running, I get three files(system.img, ramdisk.img and data.img). system.img has the libraries and default system packages. I want to compile the libraries so that I get a binary like the one present in system.img – Sid Ramadoss Mar 17 '11 at 04:13
  • I think that all libs are there in the android source repo.

  • yes I've got them using repo. How do I compile them separately using a cross compiler? – Sid Ramadoss Mar 23 '11 at 05:17
