ndk-build not found as a command

Question

I have been working with Android SDK for a while & just came across an requirement to use the NDK

So, I downloaded the Android NDK for Windows. Jumping on the first example, when I am trying to build the library using the process defined in the NDK example

http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html

Specifically the command /ndk-build from the command line

I am getting the error

ndk-build is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I have added the path for ndk-build in the PATH variable and even tried calling the command going to the folder, still the same error

Does anybody have a clue?

Guess that should have been an answer instead of a comment.

You must use Cygwin as your shell in order to run ndk-build.
