Hi, I have been working on the Windows build.  There are several fixes 
that need to be in the code for this to work.  Right now, they are in 
this branch:  improve_ves_android.   Looking at your error log, I can 
see that you did not run cmake-gui from a VS command prompt, you have to 
do that.


These steps should work:


Download this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Then the NDK
http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

Get a copy of VES
git clone git://vtk.org/stage/VES.git
git checkout improve_ves_android

Configure VES with CMake
****** This is important, you must run a Visual Studio build command 
prompt shell
open a VS build shell
set ANDROID_NDK=c:\Users\hoffman\android-windows\android-ndk-r9
run cmake use full path to your install of cmake
cmake-gui  (must be 2.8.12.1)

Turn on VES_ANDROID_SUPERBUILD
Run nmake.


Build Kiki:
Run cmake-gui on Kiwi, be sure to use toolchain option  (specify 
toolchain for cross-compiling)
Use the full path to VES/CMake/toolchains/android.toolchain.cmake

You will also need to set these variables:
VTK_DIR to VES-build/CMakeExternals/Build/vtk-android
VES_DIR = VES-build/CMakeExternals/Build/ves-android
ANT_EXECUTABLE=C:/full/path/to/android-windows/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.8.3.v201301120609/bin/ant.bat
ANDROID_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=c:/full/path/to/android-windows/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917/sdk/tools/android.bat

ANDROID_TARGET has bad default should fix this, have to change to this
android-18
