Just curious: did you compile GRASS 7 on Android?

I just tried with a cross compiled
(arm-gp2x-linux-gcc-c++-4.1.2-13.fc17.x86_64),
using Marco Bernasocchi build scripts from QGIS
and got quite a bit compiled.

A few issues are in the library part:

ls.c: In function 'G_ls_format':
ls.c:173: error: storage size of 'size' isn't known
make[3]: *** [OBJ.arm-unknown-linux-androideabi/ls.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/neteler/grass70/lib/gis'

--> use #ifdef __ANDROID__ ?

Then:

cd OBJ.arm-unknown-linux-androideabi &&
GISRC=/home/neteler/grass70/dist.arm-unknown-linux-androideabi/demolocation/.grassrc70
GISBASE=/home/neteler/grass70/dist.arm-unknown-linux-androideabi

make[5]: *** [OBJ.arm-unknown-linux-androideabi/test.tmp] Error 126

Some Makefile issues:

Eventually I didn't get the link to PROJ4 right, so subsequent compilation
of modules depending on that naturally fails. But I didn't spend time on
this.

Not sure how to solve above issues:

PS: Maybe it is useless to run GRASS on Android but maybe not.. :)
