<div>I have made some progress on building using the more

<div>I'd like to suggest that some documentation improvements
might be in order. I'll take a stab at this once I can
document to my satisfaction what work. There are 2 key
missing dependencies:</div>
<div>libtool</div>
<div>autopoint</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also what versions of NDK, build-tools, etc. are very
critical. I was using some newer stuff and was not getting
very far.</div>

<div>Anyway I was able to
build mythfrontend-20220812-arm-v32.0-59-gcf553e438c.apk and
it runs on my FIreTV 4K Max device. Still not as good as
Leanfront, but it's useful for all the stuff you use
mythfrontend for besides playing a recording.</div>

<p>Great I have tried to build the Android version of the Frontend

your guide.</p></div></blockquote><div>As to a Guide.

To keep from messing up my whole system in case I screwed up, I created a KVM VM with Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop and used that for building up an Android builder system.
