ndkBuild trouble- non-zero exit value 2

Question

I have problem with my android project which I move from one computer to another. Of course everything works fine before I change computer and Android Studio version (from 1.5 to 2.2). Now when I want to run project I have this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:ndkBuild'. Process 'command 'e:\Android\ndk\android-ndk-r12b\ndk-build.cmd'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

Here my gradle build:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xxx.crossexample"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        sourceSets.main {
            jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/libs'
            jni.srcDirs = []
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    task ndkBuild(type: Exec) {
        Properties properties = new Properties()
        properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())
        def ndkDir = properties.getProperty('ndk.dir')
        commandLine "e:\\Android\\ndk\\android-ndk-r12b\\ndk-build.cmd", '-B', '-C', file('src/main/jni').absolutePath

    }

    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn ndkBuild
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'

}

And my local.properies

sdk.dir=e\:\\Android\\sdk
ndk.dir=e\:\\Android\\ndk\\android-ndk-r12b

Any suggestions what is wrong with my code?

Is there any more info in the error message than that? All that says is that it failed, it doesn't hint at why. — Dan Albert, Sep 23 '16 at 17:41
No, there is no more error message, only that. What do you mean run ndk-build directly? Run ndk-build.cmd file? — MaSza, Sep 24 '16 at 10:41
The real error here is "No rule to make target `E:/AndroidStudioProjects/CrossExample/app/src/main/jni/SuperpoweredExample.cpp'" Does that file exist? — Dan Albert, Sep 26 '16 at 19:43

In my case running builds from command line was working, but not from the gui. I solved this by upgrading the Android Build tools. Maybe the NDK was not compatible with the Android Build tools I had before.

That's correct, see https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk/issues/700#issuecomment-392935541 – Alex Cohn Jun 13 '18 at 17:42
