On a computer with a MIPS architecture (e.g. a Lemotoe Yeeloong), running GNU/Linux, is it possible to install and run the necessary tools for developing Android apps for deployment on smartphones?
Is it possible to do Android development on a MIPS computer?

I don't own a MIPS system, but would think so1 -- a key requirement of android dev is the adb utility, which turns up in the Debian MIPS distribution.   That's not everything that's required, and android doesn't use a normal java SDK either.  Their site annoyingly just lists 32-bit glibc as a requirement for the Linux version of the ADT bundle (that's everything), implying it was compiled for x86 machines (it runs on 64-bit with 32-bit libs).However, you are in luck, because Android is totally open source, including the dev tools:http://source.android.com/There are build instructions there, etc.  I think that little laptop will have its hands full -- have fun!1. I believe Android runs on MIPS devices, although of course that doesn't help you here.
