There are essentially two pieces you have to deal with: (1) the Dalvik runtime (2) the Dalvik core libraries The runtime has relatively few dependencies within the Android source tree (e.g. it needs libcutils). The core libs have a few more (expat). Some of these can be satisfied with host libs (assuming you have standard bits like zlib), but in general you're going to need a few bits of Android. Recent versions of Android (Gingerbread+) have some WITH_HOST_DALVIK stuff in the makefiles. That's used to build Dalvik on the desktop, where it's used as part of the build process for production builds (converting .dex to .odex). If you search around for that and things like BUILD_HOST_STATIC_LIBRARY you should get a sense for what needs to be built. -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
