You should be able to compile the MANET Manager app (
https://github.com/ProjectSPAN/android-manet-manager) like any other Android app. All the ARM binaries are precompiled, so you shouldn't have to do anything with the Android NDK. Your device does have to be rooted to run it. Also, you may want to turn the Wi-Fi off on your device the first time you use it.
I don't expect that it will work the first time unless your kernel supports Wireless Extensions, but give it a try and let me know how it goes.
