Question

I had set the ANDROID_NDK_HOME as /Users/Shajilshocker/Documents/Android/NDK/android-ndk-r10b using a mac osx application called Enviro

Answer 1

For mac use this: Open your .bash_profile file with a text editor. .bash_profile is by default found in home directory. Eg /Users/john

the assumption is: you have downloaded the android sdk and ndk to /User/john/Android or you can find the path from Android Studio by going to

Project Structure > SDK Location, pay attention to Android SDK location & Android NDK location

export ANDROID_SDK=/Users/john/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/john/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:$ANDROID_NDK"

Then save the above lines to your .bash_profile file. Close it and try typing this on your terminal

ndk-build

if the response is like below, you are good to go

Android NDK: Could not find application project directory !    
Android NDK: Please define the NDK_PROJECT_PATH variable to point to it.    
/Users/john/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/build/core/build-local.mk:143: ***   Android NDK: Aborting    .  Stop.

The assumption here is you have downloaded your android sdk to /Users/john/Android
