-No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
+The paths are automatically configured and no other options are needed unless
+targeting Android. Before proceeding with an Android build one needs to get the
+[Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio) and use the "SDK Manager"
+tool to download the NDK and one or more "Platform packages" (these are Android
+versions and have a corresponding API level).
+
+In order to build `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` (API level corresponding to the Android
+version targeted, e.g. Android 9.0 Pie is 28 and its "Platform package" needs to
+be available) and `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN` (path to toolchain binaries depending
+on the platform the build is being performed on) need to be set. If the build
+includes Qt, environment variables `ANDROID_SDK` and `ANDROID_NDK`need to be set
+as well but can otherwise be omitted.
+
+This is an example command for a default build with no disabled dependencies
+(the paths needs to be adapted to match your installation):
+
+    export ANDROID_SDK=${HOME}/Android/Sdk
+    export ANDROID_NDK=${ANDROID_SDK}/ndk-bundle
+    export ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN=${ANDROID_NDK}/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin
+    export ANDROID_API_LEVEL=28
+    make build-android-aarch64
