Answer 1

I had the same issue. The problem is, that the NDK_MODULE_PATH is environment variable and Eclipse (4.2) doesn't let you define environment variables for debugging, only for build.

So defining the NDK_MODULE_PATH variable system-wide is one solution. On Linux you can do it for example by editing your .profile and adding following:

export NDK_MODULE_PATH="path/to/module"

This solution is permanent, but not flexible.

Another solution is starting eclipse from command line:

$ export NDK_MODULE_PATH="path/to/module"
$ eclipse

This is more flexible and you can do it with simple script. If you change NDK_MODULE_PATH, you only need to restart Eclipse and not whole session.
