How does one Android NDK library without a Android Project

Issue

I would like to be able to build a shared library in using the android ndk-build script, but for some reason I get a bunch of errors:

# I have Application.mk and Android.mk in the current folder
ndk-build -C . 
Android NDK: Could not find application project directory !    
Android NDK: Please define the NDK_PROJECT_PATH variable to point to it.  

Is there a way to build the Android shared library with only the source and header files?$$\int$$

Solution

Yes, you can write

ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH=. APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=./Android.mk

But it's much easier to create ./jni directory and put both Application.mk and Android.mk there.
