If you could point me to an easy way to generate an APK from a project which doesn't use the Android build system, needs to be deployed and always ran as root and in non-standard location, I'd be interested. Considering the kernel requirements, I very much doubt we'll find users who know how to build their own kernel and deploy them but don't know how to unpack a tarball on their device :) > > > On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 2:07 PM, Stéphane Graber <[email protected]>wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Some of you may have noticed the rather large amount of fixes I've been > > working on for a while to get LXC to behave mostly fine on Android. > > > > With the recent rework of LXC's automated build system, I'm now happy to > > announce that every hour (provided there's a change in git master), a > > new android tarball will be produced with binaries built against the > > current version of the Android NDK. > > > > Resulting builds may be found at: > > http://qa.linuxcontainers.org/master/current/android-armel/ > > > > If you want to run those, you'll need an ARM based Android device with a > > compatible kernel (you'll likely need to hand-build one), then unpack > > the tarball in /, unpack a container in /data/lxc/containers/ and > > finally start it with "./run-lxc lxc-start -n <container>". > > > > I expect all the binaries command to work fine.
