Hi All,

I have build VMGL for host (ubuntu 10.04). Can anybody let me know how
I can integrate VMGL in android emulator? or How to build VMGL for
Android emulator?

Please repley asap.

Thanks in advance..

I'm afraid this is not possible, nor desirable:
  • VMGL only works for X11-based Linux systems, so it can't easily be ported to Android (which uses a completely different graphics system)
  • VMGL only works when emulating x86, not ARM, as far as I know
  • VMGL requires a X11 host, and thus is useless for developers using Windows or OS X.
  • VMGL doesn't handle OpenGLES, only desktop GL commands.
We have a much better GLES emulation solution in the works. More news about it when it'll be ready.
