+# This GYP file stores the dependencies necessary to build Skia on the Android
+# platform. The OS doesn't provide many stable libraries as part of the
+# distribution so we have to build a few of them ourselves.
+#
+# We tried adding this gyp file to the android directory at the root of
+# the Skia repo, but that resulted in the generated makefiles being created
+# outside of the intended output directory. So to avoid this we created a simple
+# shim here that includes the android_deps.gypi file.  The actual dependencies
+# are defined and maintained in that gypi file.
+#
+# Also this assumes that the android directory is a sibling to the directory
+# that contains your primary Skia checkout. If it is not then you must manually
+# edit the includes below to specify the actual location of the android.gypi.
+# This is due to the fact that we cannot use variables in an includes as the
+# variable expansion step for gyp happens after the includes are processed.
