+          MPD can be compiled as an Android app.  It can be installed
+          easily with <link linkend="install_android">Google
+          Play</link>, but if you want to build it from source, follow
+          this section.

+          Just like with the native build, unpack the
+          <application>MPD</application> source tarball and change
+          into the directory.  Then, instead of
+          <command>./configure</command>, type:
