[Erik Reitsma]

Hi,

I am using this script to set environment variables, in order to use the 
Android Arm toolchain:

export 
TOOLCHAIN_ROOT=/home/user/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7
export erl_xcomp_sysroot=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/sysroot
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi-
export CC=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
export CXX=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}g++
export SHLIB_LD=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
export LD=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}ld
export AR=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}ar
export RANLIB=${TOOLCHAIN_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}ranlib
export CFLAGS=
export LDFLAGS=""
export ERLANDROID_ROOT=`pwd`
export ERL_TOP=`pwd`/otp_src_R15B03

And then I configure using:
./configure --prefix=/tmp/arm_erlang 
--with-ssl=/home/user/openssl/openssl-android-master --without-java 
--disable-hipe --without-termcap --disable-smp-support 
--host=arm-linux-androideabi --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Note that I have compiled openssl for Android. If you do not need it, 
you can disable openssl by using --without-ssl

Then I compile using:

TARGET=arm-linux-androideabi make noboot -j12
TARGET=arm-linux-androideabi ./otp_build release -a 
${ERLANDROID_ROOT}/arm_erlang_R15B03_rel

That gives me a directory arm_erlang_R15B03_rel with the compiled 
Erlang/OTP. This directory contains a script Install, which you should 
call with appropriate arguments. I call it like this:
./Install -cross -minimal 
/data/data/com.ernovation.erlangforandroid/files/erlang

Anyway, you are right that the cross compiler finds the Android NDK's 
lib/include from erl_xcomp_sysroot.
