> I would like to build LibreOffice for Android. Well, there is nothing called "LibreOffice for Android". Yet. That sounds as if it meant something functionally equivalent to the full LibreOffice on desktop OSes. And whether that is even something we want is unclear.
What you can do is compile most of the LibreOffice C++ (and some C) code for Android, sure. And then you can use that as a native library from Android apps (written in Java, with all the GUI done in Java using the normal Android APIs). We have two such apps in the sources, "DocumentLoader" and "LIbreOffice4Android". (See the android/experimental subdirectory in the sources.) They are both quite crude and experimental. And with document *viewing* functionality only. Definitely not something that one could with a straight face call "LibreOffice for Android".

When you say "pick", I hope you don't mean that you are not interested in building and working on it, but just want to "test" it? Such testing is really not needed at this stage. It is blatantly obvious to those working on the code what problems there are... (But if you insist in seeing something pre-built, look under http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Android-ARM@24-Bytemark-Hosting/master/ ) What we really need is more people who are able to build the code and work on improving it (especially the Android-specific Java layer) themselves. You need to be running Linux or Mac OS X as Windows is not suited for building LibreOffice for Android. Clone our "core" git repository and learn how to build LibreOffice for your native platform first. And then build for Android: Read README.cross and README.Android. Join our development IRC channel and ask for advice; best during European working hours and evenings. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
