title: how to configure for building open source library with NDK?
body: <p>I am trying to compile an open source library with Android NDK in Windows with cygwin.</p>
  
  <p>According to following question</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4594736/configure-does-not-recognize-androideabi">configure does not recognize androideabi</a></p>
  
  <p>I think I should be able to do that but I can't. If I use </p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure --host=i686-android-linux
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got </p>
  
  <pre><code> configure:3471: error: C compiler cannot create executables
   See `config.log' for more details
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I guess configure would not know how to find that host, would it? Any idea will be appreciated.</p>
