Testing the Scripts
Save the scripts in Listings 1-2 and 1-3 as
agcc
and
ald
in your
$HOME/bin
directory. Then issue the
following commands to test them:
user@ubuntu:~$ agcc --version
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) 4.3.2

Caution
Do not edit the scripts with your Windows host using Notepad or WordPad. That will insert invalid
characters in the file and give strange results when you run the script. I made the mistake of doing just that, and
wasted a lot of time when the compiler started giving some funky output.
Setting Up Your Development Environment
Now you are ready to get your IDE up and running with the Android development kit. Let's go through
the installation of the latest available Android SDK (1.6 at the time of this writing; available from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
) over Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo, available from
http://www.eclipse.org
).
