Download (mupdf-1.1-source.tar.gz) and MUPDF (mupdf-thirdparty-2012-08-14) using
http://mupdf.com/download/Unzip (mupdf-1.1-source.tar.gz) to folder and rename it
"mupdf",Unzip (mupdf-thirdparty-2012-08-14) to folder and copy the content of folder into"mupdf".
For getting the result we need to use latest Android ndk and Cygwin,download it from the related sites.
Inside cygwin terminal,type the path of the mupdf folder using "cd" command, Ex- cd d:/abc/mupdf
and press enter,you will get something like " /cygdrive/d/abc/mupdf ", now type
"make prefix=/usr/local install"
and press enter,after getting some output, type the path of your Android ndk and run the build command,
Ex-d:/Anroid/android-ndk-r8b/ndk-build
and press enter,thats it you will get the library.so file .
