Hi Christian, Some of the answers to your questions may possibly be found in PR 1629: bpo-30386: Add a build infrastructure for Android https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1629 Please note that the purpose of this PR was not to give clear instructions on how to cross-compile android, but to add an android buildbot to the Python buildbots, hence its relative complexity.
The README created by this PR provide some of the links that you are looking for: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0a51515a634872275aaeafb2e8a198289e6cf3d3/Android/README.rst > we would like to have clear instructions how to > reproduce the problem ourselves It is difficult to miss the irony in this sentence because at the time of this PR I was a Python core developer and the 'we' in your sentence would have included me then. So at this time 'we' had all the knowledge to fulfill your requests. The irony is that the reason why I resigned from being a core developer was because of the handling of this PR.
