Did you install Cygwin yet? If you install Cygwin according the the
various tutorials it is much easier then doing what you are
suggesting.

Now I have installed Cygwin 

Please point me to a tutorial for build standalone toolchain for ndk-r5b for Cygwin

[mingw android]

Read the ndk docs.

From original doc i have found that it not understand the Cygwin path specification

so i need the easy way but How is possible in windows this equivalent?

$NDK/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-5 --install-dir=/tmp/my-android-toolchai

------docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.htm--------------

....

5/ Warnings and Limitations:
5.1/ Windows support:
The Windows binaries do *not* depend on Cygwin. The good news is that they
are thus faster, the bad news is that they do not understand the Cygwin
path specification like /cygdrive/c/foo/bar (instead of C:/foo/bar).

The NDK build system ensures that all paths passed to the compiler from Cygwin
are automatically translated, and deals with other horrors for you. If you have
a custom build system, you may need to deal with the problem yourself.

NOTE: There is no plan to support Cygwin / MSys at the moment, but
      contributions are welcome. Contact the android-ndk forum for details

Read this tutorial:

http://mindtherobot.com/blog/452/android-beginners-ndk-setup-step-by-step/

It explains how to set up Cygwin and the ndk-r5b so they work
together.

Thanks!

This guide is for ndk-r4

Hello

You better check there is no space with in the path.... Spaces are
very important in NDK platform.

Yes, but ndk-r5b is just the same. Just use "ndk-r5b" whenever the
tutorial talks about "ndk-r4"

The link you posted does not cover the 'stand alone toolchain'.
The ndk documentation states that stand alone toolchain is not
supported by windows.

I would be interested to know if anyone has succeeded in porting to
windows, but I gave up after a few days of trying on and off. I now
use Ubuntu. You can also use Ubuntu in VirtualBox just for compiling
with the stand alone toolchain.

After a complete cygwin setup and ndk installed on c:/devl/android-ndk-r5b  when i try

/cygdrive/c/devl/android-ndk-r5b/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-9 --install-dir=/cygdrive/c/devl/android-9-toolchain

Copying prebuilt binaries...

Copying sysroot headers and libraries...

Copying libstdc++ headers and libraries...

mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/ndk-toolchain/build-BOEd9Q/arm-linux-androi

deabi-4.4.3/arm-linux-androideabi': Permission denied

ERROR: Cannot copy to directory: /tmp/ndk-toolchain/build-BOEd9Q/arm-linux-andro

ideabi-4.4.3/arm-linux-androideabi/include/c++/4.4.3

ERROR: Could not copy libstdc++!

[ccbitz]

Even if you figure out how to fix the build script to allow this copy,
it is copying a LINUX binary that will NOT run on Windows.

I found this blog that seems to have a working solution:
http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=1462

I can't vouch for it personally (like I said, I've switch to Ubuntu
anyway), but I might try it soon because I'm working with some SDKs
that are Windows based now.
Please let all of us on this thread know if it works for you...

Best,

Thank -CC 

The link you posted does not seem cover the 'stand alone toolchain' using Cygwin: 

build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform= --install-di

I have trued unsuccessfully:

/cygdrive/c/devl/android-ndk-r5b/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-9 --install-dir=/cygdrive/c/devl/android-9-toolchain

[ccbitz]

You have to follow their instructions, ignore the make-standalone-
toolchain script and create the makefiles yourself by calling out the
prebuilt windows binaries.
