Notes: Adding libGL.so to android emulator images

Earlier this evening, I was playing with Android emulators.  Specifically, I was playing with emulating an application which uses libGL.  On emulator boot, I was getting messages like:

libGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It turns out that though no version of the binary is included in the default ADK, the correct one can simply be linked in.  On my Debian Wheezy/testing machine, this was done as:

$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib/libGL.so

Which also has the advantage that it requires no privileges.

If you need to find the .proper libGL.so file, consider using:

$ find / -name libGL.so* 2>/dev/null
