Need a little guidance compiling library code for the Vogue, Kaiser, & Polaris users

---

I'm working on updating libgps.so for the aforementioned group, and I'm pretty green when it comes to linux. I'm doing my best to help myself, but (hopefully understandably) I'm a little hung up on compiling code for the ARM architecture using Linux binaries.

Specifically, I have my build environment (Ubuntu 9.10 x86) with GCC installed, and I have my source code prepared (.c, .h, and a .mk that I was provided with, I'm not familiar with it.) I need to compile these into a .so file that we can incorporate with Android to hopefully improve our GPS functionality.

Is anyone willing to lend me a hand or point me to a newbie-friendly guide to ensuring I have the cross-compiler installed and setup correctly, and the appropriate switches to use when I compile to ensure my .so file is compiled for ARM?

Thanks much for any help you can offer,
