==== Building Python for Android (Kivi)====
Based on [http://python-for-android.readthedocs.org/en/latest/prerequisites/ python-for-android documentation], built on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.

Install prerequisites:
{{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential patch git-core ccache ant python-pip python-dev
}}}

On a 64-bit distro:
{{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential patch git-core ccache ant pip python-dev
}}}

Ensure you have the latest Cython version:

{{{
sudo pip install --upgrade cython
}}}

Python for Android (the Kivi one) seems to build only with NDK-r7, so the NDK in current Necessitas SDK (NDK-r8b) can't be used. Just download the r7 NDK unpack it somewhere and set the NDK path. 

{{{
wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r7-linux-x86.tar.bz2
tar xvf android-ndk-r7-linux-x86.tar.bz2
}}}

The Android SDK from Necessitas can be used, just make sure API 14 is installed.


{{{
cd python-for-android

export ANDROIDSDK="<path to some android SDK that has API 14>"
export ANDROIDNDK="<path to android ndk>"
export ANDROIDNDKVER=r7
export ANDROIDAPI=14

./distribute.sh -m "pyjnius kivy" -f
}}}

== Having build issues ? ==
* try to build on Ubuntu 12.04 with NDK r7
* try the [http://python-for-android.readthedocs.org/en/latest/android/#prebuilt-virtualbox Virtualbox image] pre-configured for building Python for Android
