Hi,

Forking this from the GSOC thread.

I doubt that. VMMaker generates platform independent C code. The platform
specific code has to be written/changed/ported to the NDK.

========================

That would be even better. The problem is, I could not find any
explanation how exactly were the sources in the jni subdir obtained in
the parent project.

So I may be making some extra assumptions just for safety.

By "keeping VM-related tools in order" I mean to have some documented
way to produce those sources for any given version of the VM, and if
just in case any post-patching is needed, have those patches/scripts
somewhere as well.

Maybe it makes sense to create an Android subdir under
http://www.squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/platforms/ in the
future.

Thanks.
