I've finally managed to build the release of KOreader for Android, but I've run into some issues.
I've updated the manual to reflect the solutions I've found.
The issues I've found are:
1. The version of the needed Android SDK platform isn't described anywhere;
2. xutils-dev is missing from the prerequisites, while it provides the `makedepend` utility used by the openssl build system;
3. Finally, for the Android build it is necessary to install JDK version 8.
Currently only tested on Ubuntu-touch emulator with framework
ubuntu-sdk-14.10 for armhf.
The ubuntu-touch port is binary compatible with the Kobo port
major changes in this PR are:
1. rename the emulator device to sdl device since both the emulator
and the ubuntu-touch target use libsdl to handle input/output.
2. ubuntu-touch app has no write access to the installation dir so
all write-outs should be in a seperate dir definded in `datastorage`.
Fetching all dependencies requires svn (for popen-noshell, for example). Also, removed andLinux, since it's not maintained, installs old toolchains from repositories and doesn't work on 64-bit Windows machines. Instead, added a link about installing Ubuntu in VM, which also mentions how to set up VMWare Tools for drag-n-drop, better video performance etc.
