Description
-
gperf is required to compile the Titanium Android SDK and native Android modules
- We currently document that gperf is required for native module development ([Android Module Quick Start](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Android_Module_Quick_Start), [Android Module Project](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Android_Module_Project))
- gperf is not readily available for Windows
Since gperf-3.0.1 is licensed under GPLv2 we can distribute the Windows binary as long as its source is accessible.
