 We do support cross-compilation. Please refer to our ``coqui-ai/tensorflow`` fork, where we define the following ``--config`` flags:

+Prerequisites

+
+Beyond the general prerequisites listed above, you'll also need the Android-specific dependencies for TensorFlow, namely you'll need to install the `Android SDK <https://developer.android.com>`_ and the `Android NDK version r18b <https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads#r18b>`_. After that's done, export the environment variables ``ANDROID_SDK_HOME`` and ``ANDROID_NDK_HOME`` to the corresponding folders where the SDK and NDK were installed. Finally, configure the TensorFlow build and make sure you answer yes when the script asks if you want to set-up an Android build.
