Dirk Hohndel b747e1bc72 Android build: more tweaking
Don't ever link against a shared libcrypt. One of the recent changes to
make things build on the various Linux build systems apparently broke the
Android build as it now adds an extra -lcrypt right after the correct
static link to libcrypt.a. Instead of fiddling even more with this and
re-breaking all the other builds I just hack around it here and remove any
calls to a simply -lcrypt as that won't work on Android.

This also passes through the remaining options on the command line to make
so we can do things like VERBOSE=1 or -j12

Tool repo to crosscompile subsurface to android-arm
---------------------------------------------------

Dependencies:

1. android_sdk, android_ndk and Qt5.5. See step 0.
2. cmake
3. ant
4. Java JDK
5. working adb is recommended
6. dependencies of libdivecomputer and subsurface -
   visit http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/building/

Steps to install:

Step 0.
Grab..
Android ndk from: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
Android sdk from: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
And QT for android from: http://qt-project.org/downloads

Step 1.
Extract and install these into known directories.
Have a look in the top of build.sh for where the cross build tool expects
them. By default thats is: ../../../android-ndk-r9d ../../../android-sdk-linux
and ../../../Qt/5.5

Step 2.
Run bash build.sh in the terminal. By default it builds for arm but you
can pass x86 as first arg to build.sh to have it build for x86. Nice when
debugging in a fast emulator.
The script will download and build the whole dependency chain.

After this, subsurface will be built for android.

The output folder is subsurface-build-arm/android_build and your newly
created apk shows up as:
subsurface-build-arm/android_build/bin/QtApp-debug.apk

Where the x86 apk shows up when built for x86 is left as a exercise for the
reader.
