this project contains jni libraries,it is a ndk based project.why this error happen i cant import this project to my system.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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)
