How to build android standalone toolchain in windows 7

[Ahsan]

I am trying to build standalone toolchain using ndk 8 for mips by
following "docs\STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html" but when I run following
command "make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-14 --install-
dir=/tmp/my-android-toolchain" in command prompt I got following
errors


E:\Installed_SDKs\android-ndk-r8\build\tools>make-standalone-
toolchain.sh --platform=android-14 --arch=mips --install-dir=./mytool

You cannot run this script from the windows command-line. Try under Cygwin, though I'm not sure it's going to work (and if it does, it will be terribly slow, like 3 or 4 hours).

It's probably a better idea to install Linux in a virtual machine and do all the generation from here. You'll need to install the "mingw32" cross-toolchain to generate Windows binaries from there.
