Some notes:

* This depends on 'androgenizer', a tool to generate Android-style
   Android.mk files from an autotools build system.

* This assumes that PA is run as the system daemon and configures
   accordingly.

* In the Android build, libltdl is likely not available when configure
   is being run, and we know it will be so the check is manually
   overridden.

* NEON support needs to be communicated from an upper-level Android.mk.

* rpaths don't work on Android - you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.

* Configuration files for /etc/pulse are shipped out of tree, since they
   vary from device to device.

* The original patch was massive and ugly, but thanks Pekka Paalanen's
   work on Weston to break out common androgenizer snippets, we could
   greatly decrease the size of the Android-specific elements.

* Since we don't use libtool for linking, we need to work around some
   symbol definition problems that turn up. This is done in a separate
   file (pulseaudio-android-symdef.c). More information about this at:
   http://www.sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_173.html (the
   example snippet needs some fixing to work with current libtool).


Is the lot of those changes just so you can use the "ndk-build" command? You know you don't have to use it for android stuff, you can keep using existing/traditional build systems. We at Rockbox use our original make-based build system in the same way as for all other ports, with the exception that the final output is a .so file. This basically just required passing -shared on the final linker cmdline. The point is that we don't use ndk-build anywhere and this kept the required changes to our build system at a minimum.

Best regards.
