There's an SDL_android_main.c file you need to compile. I have a
personal Android/NDK app here:

    https://github.com/mathstuf/abagames-gunroar

but it needs a CMake branch (for D support), uses git-hg to clone SDL
libraries, and uses a patched NDK toolchain for D support. It also only
supports Ninja anyways (make probably works; untested).

If you look in src/android/CMakeLists.txt, there are steps which:

  - install the generated library to the src/android/jni/gunroar
    directory;
  - runs ndk-build;
  - links the assets into place;
  - build the apk using ant;
  - adds a target for installing it to a device.

The src/android/src and src/android/jni/src directories contain the SDL
glue and minimal (NDK) build scripts. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt for
Tegra. It certainly makes APKs which run (but then promptly crash in the
D runtime).
