Compiling Google Android for x86 with VMWARE & Ubuntu Linux on Windows

di

You have Windows but you want to compile Android as well. You can, providing you install VmPlayer and a linux vm appliance. I will not get into this.  I will assume you have an up-t0-date Vmware appliance up and running with reasonable virtual RAM (>1GB) and disk space (>8GB).

Beware:The build process produces an installer, not a live image!
