This question has been asked and answered a number of times already.  You might want to try a search on these forums although from memory the answer was basically no because Android uses Java.  Something along those lines.

The real answer is: There is a version of ScummVM, that uses the NDK to makes Android versions. So, if anyone can make a windows compiler that compiles the ScummVM for Android, I'm in.

the link is - if scummVM compiles on windows compiler, the glbasic engine compiles too.

According to his FAQ page http://sites.google.com/site/scummvmandroid/faq he turned it into a large JNI library so android still thinks of it as java, even though almost all of it is C++. Apparently with android 1.5+ devices, the NDK makes creating JNIs much easier.

"The Android NDK is a companion tool to the Android SDK that lets you build performance-critical portions of your apps in native code. It provides headers and libraries that allow you to build activities, handle user input, use hardware sensors, access application resources, and more, when programming in C or C++. If you write native code, your applications are still packaged into an .apk file and they still run inside of a virtual machine on the device. The fundamental Android application model does not change."

Hi everyone.  I'm new here, but I thought I could give some help on this topic.  There is a blog (not mine) showing how to:

1. set up the Android SDK in windows: http://mindtherobot.com/blog/209/android-beginners-from-bare-windows-to-your-first-app/

2. set up and use the Android NDK: http://mindtherobot.com/blog/452/android-beginners-ndk-setup-step-by-step/

It even shows you how to write your first NDK app.
