Building and testing x86emu

Once we have the source code, we can start to build and test our x86emu device in this section.

Building x86emu

Before we start to build x86emu, let's have a quick look at the Android build system first. The major difference between the Android build system from other make-based build systems is that the Android build system doesn't rely on recursive Makefiles.
