-####GLM
-
-GLM is a header only library and technically the same GLM used for desktop builds of hifi could be used for the Android build. However, to avoid conflicts with system installations of Android dependencies, CMake will only look for Android headers and libraries in `ANDROID_LIB_DIR` or in your android-ndk install. 
-
-Download the [glm headers](http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogl-math/files/) from their sourceforge page. The version you download should match the requirement shown in the [general build guide](BUILD.md). Extract the archive into your `ANDROID_LIB_DIR` and rename the extracted folder to `glm`.

-###GLM
-
-This package contains only headers, so there's nothing to add to the PATH.
-
-Be careful with glm. For the folder other libraries would normally call 'include', the folder containing the headers, glm opts to use 'glm'. You will have a glm folder nested inside the top-level glm folder.
