For some reason the Android script assumes that you have subsurface and
libdivecomputer sources in place. The former makes sense (because you have
the script, so the source should be there), the latter I'm not so sure
about.

Simply do this

cd ~/src
ln -s ~/backup/src/libdivecomputer .

now things should work.
