Android NDK and Cygwin configuration issue

I have a problem configuring my system for using the NDK over Windows. Those are the step I made:

Then in Eclipse I opened the project properties and in the build command I put "ndk-build". And the console shows that error:

Cannot run program "ndk-build": Launching failed             C/C++ Problem

I suppose that is because is trying to execute the ndk-build file over the windows cmd, without using the cygwin. How can I solve that?

Note: if I open a cygwin bash and type ndk-build -version it returns the version info but if I try to execute it in the standard cmd console it returns

'ndkbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'd like to point out that you no longer need Cygwin to run ndk-build with the recent versions of NDK. You still need it for debugging native code, though.

You need to prepend "bash" before the path to ndk-build in the project properties. So if you installed your NDK on C:\ put

bash C:\android-ndk-r6\ndk-build

in the build command field.
