And the GTK stack is very deep, there are a lot of dependencies. My understanding is that the NDK has been improved since then, and is a little more compatible. I wouldn't say speed is the main problem, I'd say maintaining the port/fork is, since the changes required to the GTK stack were extensive. It would be worth revisiting this to see if the situation has improved. --scott <div><div> On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 12:03 PM, Chris Ball <<a href="mailto:cjb@laptop.org" target="_blank">cjb@laptop.org</a>> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sat, Apr 13 2013, Daniel Narvaez wrote: >> I was curious about what it would take to port enough of the GNOME >> libraries to android to be able to run the current Sugar >> implementation there.
