Can I build shared library from native code (.so file, to be used in JNI) under Windows-(XP or 7)? If yes how ? What if it is NDK for Android?

You can refer to this book: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/jniTOC.html
Instructions for compiling a JNI shared library on Windows: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/start.html#27008 (On Windows they use the extension .dll, not .so)
Update: Oracle has taken the above link down, but it can be viewed at http://web.archive.org/web/20110623094757/http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/start.html#27008
These instructions are for the Visual C++ compiler; if you use another compiler look up in its manual how to compile shared libraries.
