Roermond.

That's a bit out of the way for me, I'm in Hilversum. Let's see what we can do remotely first...

Native debugging on Android used to be a nightmare with Eclipse and ADT, but with Android Studio, it pretty much just works, as long as you have the right NDK installed.

Quite a download from what I see from projects that require a specific NDK but doable.

I use r19c myself. Newer versions probably work, too, but I had trouble with r21b (see the release notes for Free42 2.5.22a) which prompted me to switch back to r19c. The crashes that were reported on Android were caused by the r21b compiler emitting Neon instructions, which aren't supported on all the devices that Free42 targets. I don't know why the NDK would emit code that doesn't work on all devices with the selected Android version, and I don't have suitable devices to try and figure out the right compiler flags to fix the issue, so I decided to play safe and downgrade to r19c. Your mileage may vary!
