"Ah - I see!  You built it yourself.  Cool beans.  I don't think it is possible for just eclipse to build it correctly.  Can you try building it using the steps in the README and let me know what you find?"

Kevin Hester replied to Lucas Proenca's discussion "Unfortunately, Andropilot has stopped"
"Sure - what Android device are you using and what is the version of android on that device?  Can you tell me the time in UTC when the crash occured (so I can check for crash reports at google).
