Re: how to cross-compile tshark and tools

[George Nychis <gnychis () gmail com>]

Thanks for the responses, I sincerely appreciate it.

I was able to build lemon for my host machine, and compile the majority of
the project.  My goal is to get libwireshark working on Android as a shared
library.  It seems to build successfully as a static library, so I am going
to try build it as a shared library and test it out on Android.

I changed some of the build variables in the lemon configuration file to get
around this for now.
