I'm trying to use FastCV, https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/mobile-technologies/computer-vision-fastcv/setting-developer-environment. It tells me that I need to install Android NDK. I did that and put it in the place that it told me to.

I then try: cd /cygdrive/c/Development/Android/android-ndk-r6/samples/san-angeles

And it tells me that there is no file or folder by that name.

I then try the command ndk-build and it tells me that there is no command by that name.

Note: there is a cygwin section in the "How to get started" section, but it says that it is not relevant for mac users.

Here is another part that I don't understand: 

MAC: Update $path variable to point to the ndk directory. Modify the /Users/<login-name>/.tcshrcfile to set the path by adding /Users/<login-name>/Development/Android/android-ndk-r6. Along with the changes applied in the section 'Android SDK Downloader' you will have:

set path = ( $path /Developer/usr/bin /Users//Development/Android/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools /Users//Development/Android/android-ndk-r6 )

I have NO idea what is being asked of me here.

I just want to solve this, so I can actually start doing things.

Edit: I think (emphasis on I think) that I misread the instructions about cygwin. So I don't need to do the ndk-build commands. However, I still don't know what the instructions mean about the path stuff

You should download NDK for Mac OS, the 64-bit version can be found here. Note that today we don't use r6 anymore, the current version is r9.

NDK is distributed as a plain compressed archive. Mac will open it for you and extract all files. Copy this whole tree wherever you like, and add the top directory to ${path} environment variable.

Let's say you decided to copy extracted NDK into /Users/user678392/ndk. Then you should try

cd /Users/user678392/ndk/samples/san-angeles
ndk-build
