Benno explains how to build simple native programs for Android. ... Terrific, except it doesn't work if, say, you're building on an Intel x86 box, but trying to build for Android, which is based around Linux and an entirely different CPU. Fortunately, the Scratchbox project exists to solve this problem. It provides you with a special Linux universe, which uses the QEMU emulator to run ARM binaries. Hence: autoconf can run its experiments and all will be well. It worked surprisingly well and surprisingly simply. Good work by the Scratchbox team.
