Re: Fwd: Fwd: android support

Hi Brooks,
nice to hear back from you guys.
Well, David used to answer my questions re the ndk when I had no idea 
how to go further, he develops the toolchain so I guess there must be an 
advantage in his approach :)

mine was just a way I managed to deal with the problem I encoutred back 
in 2011.

So I let him explain the reason.

thanks a lot
Marco
