Android NDK Build error in Cygwin

I am configuring NDK for an android app which makes use of the linux/input.h file in its header - #include . The issue is when I call ndk-build, it gives an error which basically implies that it cannot find linux/input.h. Now, cygwin does not contain the linux directory, which is probably why this error is occuring but the ndk does contain it - android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-14\arch-x86\usr\include\linux\input.h - shouldn't ndk-build search here as well? To give some more context, I am trying to compile the EventInjector library described here and others seem to have it working, which means it must be possible somehow.

Please follow these instructions:

  1. in Android.mk

    LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
TARGET_PLATFORM := android-8
LOCAL_MODULE    := your_lib
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := my_file.c
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -L$(SYSROOT)/usr/lib -llog
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)</li>

your_lib will be the name of your library, you may write any name

my_file.c will be your source file name that is present in JNI folder

Right click on project
Choose Properties>Builders
Click on New...
Select Program, then Ok

In main tab:
Give your Builder a suitable name, eg. "NDK"
For Location, click on Browse file system>select your ndk-build.cmd,
eg. C:\android-ndk-r8-windows\android-ndk-r8\ndk-build.cmd (My NDK path)

Below there will be Working Directory:
Click on: Browse workspace - choose your project,
eg. ${workspace_loc:/Test} (My project 'Test')

Click on **Refresh Tab**
Select **Specific Resources** radio button
Click on **Specify Resources..**
Select libs folder from your project
Now click on **Build Options** Tab
Check:
After a Clean
During manual builds
During auto builds
Specify working set of relevant resources 
Click on **Specify Resources...**
Select JNI folder of your project
Click Apply...Ok

Now clean it and build...then refresh

You will get your_lib.so in libs>armeabi libs>armeabi>your_lib.so this structure will create automatically ....
