Ubuntu Linux AMD64 Android Build

[Ron DuPlain]

I successfully built and emulated Android from source on Ubuntu 8.10
x86_64 (intrepid). The instructions at source.android.com/download
are accurate for this platform, except that I did have to get one
additional package.

sudo apt-get install lib32readline5-dev

The error was:

username@host:~/mydroid$ make

I hope this helps,

Ron


PS - http://source.android.com/download says, "Please send success or
failure reports to repo-d...@googlegroups.com." Here I am.

Thanks for the tip, Ron! I've update the setup page.
