Cross-compile autotools library for Android / arm-linux-androideabi I stick that in ~/bin/, chmod +x, and then run it in place of "./configure" in my project. Then a make and make install later, the prefix contains libraries built for android. Neato eh?

## android_configure.sh
#!/bin/sh

# I put all my dev stuff in here
export DEV_PREFIX=$HOME/Dev/

# Don't forget to adjust this to your NDK path
export ANDROID_NDK=${DEV_PREFIX}/android-ndk-r8d/

export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi

# I chose the gcc-4.7 toolchain - works fine for me!
export ANDROID_PREFIX=${ANDROID_NDK}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/darwin-x86

# Apparently android-8 works fine, there are other versions, look them up
export SYSROOT=${ANDROID_NDK}/platforms/android-8/arch-arm

export CROSS_PATH=${ANDROID_PREFIX}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}

# Non-exhaustive lists of compiler + binutils
# Depending on what you compile, you might need more binutils than that
export CPP=${CROSS_PATH}-cpp
export AR=${CROSS_PATH}-ar
export AS=${CROSS_PATH}-as
export NM=${CROSS_PATH}-nm
export CC=${CROSS_PATH}-gcc
export CXX=${CROSS_PATH}-g++
export LD=${CROSS_PATH}-ld
export RANLIB=${CROSS_PATH}-ranlib

# This is just an empty directory where I want the built objects to be installed
export PREFIX=${DEV_PREFIX}/android/prefix

# Don't mix up .pc files from your host and build target
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig

# You can clone the full Android sources to get bionic if you want.. I didn't
# want to so I just got linker.h from here: http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/bionic
# Note that this was only required to build boehm-gc with dynamic linking support.
