[strongSwan] Strongswan on android gingerbread

[Federico.Mancini at ffi.no]

Ok...mistery solved, but I need help to fix it.
There was no android.mk file in the realease I download....
I had gotten the strongswan-4.2.9-stable-4853.tar.bz2 file from the download section, and extracted it in the external folder of the android source tree, but without the android.mk file, I guess
It was never even considered in the building process.
Then I downloaded the source tree instead and copied that in the external folder. This time I get a lot of compilation errors instead (which at least means that it is 
Considered in the build process).
These are the some of the errors, which I find strange since they are about files which are there, but are not found, maybe some path error somewhere:

undeclared (first use in this function)

Here http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Android it says that I should "Download the current tarball (or build it yourself from the strongSwan source tree)".
Now I don't understand why I should build a tarball just to extract it again, so I just downloaded the source tree with git in the external folder of android, but if that was an essential step,
How do I build the tarball from the source tree?

I've done all of that, but clearly something must have gone wrong. I'll see if I can find out what exactly.

Thanks for the help,
Federico

Charon is built by the Android.mk files included in the strongSwan 
source tree.  Follow the instructions at [1], the last section explains 
how to get strongSwan built within the Android source tree.
