The usual way is to set the CC (uppercase) environment variable when configuring. So: CC=gcc-android ./configure If you need to pass in compile options, you can do that via CFLAGS. >It would be great if we can get brltty working on Android! This should indeed be possible. > Hmmm.

BrlAPI, i.e. libbrlapi, communicates over a socket (local or TCP/IP) to brltty, which implements the server end of BrlAPI. So what you need to do is to build and run brltty as well. >KUOW the public radio station?
