Building Newer Versions of Android In 32-Bit Windows

If you are interested in trying to use my Virtual Machine to build more recent versions of Android on 32-bit Windows, you will need to do the following:

1.  Remove the Sun Java JDK5
2.  Install Sun Java JDK6

ia32-libs, lib32ncurses5-dev, lib32readline5-dev,  & lib32z-dev are the only required packages listed by Google that will not install on the VM.  (All the others are already in there for you.)  These packages are used on 64-bit machines to compile 32-bit code.

Then, check out this Google doc by Bart Van Bos  .

If you try this, please leave me a comment and let me know how it went!
