Thanks Marco! I actually came across this and read through your steps here:

You are doing a native build, which is something I could do, but it
since I got binaries cross compiled that can be run on Android, I was
wondering if there is away around the run-as-user issue. As I mentioned
before, I did try running as root (and compiled Quagga with user root
configured) but that didn't work and kept giving me the error I posted
earlier. I didn't see any of your patches changing this aspect (user) so
I'm wondering how did you get around this issue? What shell did you use?
and what Android version ?
I have not updated these docs for a while; I am open to
integrate/organize the information in a better/different way.
For what concerns the issues posted by Jafar...
Static/dynamic build: someway, I succeeded in obtaining a shared-libs
build, but it just does not work; I do not remember which error is
returned, but it just does not even run. Static builds worked for me
and I did not investigate further, as each daemon (routing protocol)
uses its own library, hence a shared build would not significantly
save resources. Documents linked above explain how to obtain a static
build.
Running as non-root...
Running as root works for me.
Android is not POSIX-compliant about management of users; /etc/passwd
is not used; each application is run by its own user as a separate
virtual machine (even the terminal emulator+shell); I suppose that the
POSIX management of users and privileges is only a dream on Android,
hence I suggest to accept to run Quagga as root.
Maybe you can build (cross-compile) a glibc+gcc toolchain for Android
(I succeeded in doing this)
Terminal IDE comes with these so I didn't have to worry about this. I
didn't have to do a native build after all anyway.
and then build a POSIX-compliant environment to run Quagga as on a
"normal" Unix OS, but I am not so confident that it would be really
possible, and, anyway, IMHO, it is not worth the effort, unless you
are only searching for fun :-)
Will leave that kind of fun for another day! :-)
Thanks Again!
Jafar
