Hi, I think there will have to be further discussion around this. Ministro was initially written to be a common-purpose library distribution, not exclusively used for Qt libraries. It would be like depending on "apt" or something like that. More discussion is needed to decide how to proceed wit

Note that with some tweaking, it is already quite possible to build statically or bundle the libraries you want as part of your .apk if you're not worried about the library size. We probably won't make a out-of-the-box-solution for this for the Qt 5.1 release, since it just doesn't fit in the sc
