go to your project right click there.then take properties and select the c/c++ build and there you can see the build settings .and in the build settings give the path of ndk in your system like:

D:\android\android-ndk-r8d\ndk-build.cmd NDK_DEBUG=1

Now clean your project and run. Thats it.

    in build settings, where to give path ndk?? I don't find any way to give path of NDK. Can you please reply? – Shirish Herwade Mar 25 '15 at 16:22
  • @ShirishHerwade, you can find it under C/C++ Build -> Environment, then add an environment variable named NDKROOT with the ndk path as its value. – Nate Sep 02 '15 at 19:46

With NDK r8d, you don't need cygwin. Maybe the project you import was tuned for an older version, and maybe it defined ndk-build.sh as the C++ build command. You should use ndk-build.cmd or simply ndk-build (utilizing Windows command line conventions)

You can set an environment variable 

NDK_HOME = [your path to ndk]
