Android Studio 2.0 Preview 5, linking ndk app fails to locate module .so and .a - android-studio

Question

I have an ndk project with two modules:
abwrenderer - native library module
app - native and java hybrid, glues java to the abwrenderer
I just updated to AS 2.0 Preview 5 this morning, and encountered some gradle related issues.
I upgraded to gradle-2.10 and switched to gradle-experimental:0.6.0-alpha5. When attempting to debug, an ndk build is triggered and I run into the following problem:
Error:error: C:\android\projects\foo\abwrenderer\build\intermediates\binaries\debug\obj\armeabi-v7a\libabwrenderer.so: No such file or directory
Now when I was on gradle-2.9 & gradle-experimental:0.6.0-alpha3, the libraries were built in this directory. After this morning's upgrades, the libraries are now located in:
C:\android\projects\foo\abwrenderer\build\libs\abwrenderer\shared\armeabi-v7a\debug
Is there a way to update the search location for project dependencies that build libraries?
For reference, I define the dependency on abwrenderer project as follows (build.gradle (app)):
android.sources {
main {
jni {
source {
srcDirs 'src/main/jni'
}
dependencies {
project ":abwrenderer" buildType "debug" linkage "shared"
}
}
jniLibs {
source {
srcDirs 'src/main/libs'
}
}
}
}
And build.gradle for abwrenderer project is as follows:
apply plugin: "com.android.model.native"
model {
android {
compileSdkVersion = 23
}
android.ndk {
moduleName = "abwrenderer"
cppFlags.addAll(["--std=c++11",
"-fexceptions",
"-frtti"])
ldLibs.addAll(["android", "EGL", "GLESv3", "log", "dl"])
stl = "c++_static"
debuggable = true
}
android.sources {
main {
jni {
exportedHeaders {
srcDir "src/main/jni"
}
}
}
}
}
I have invalidated caches and restarted, done a clean build, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your defaultConfig and ndk blocks were missing some info. They should look similar to this:
defaultConfig {
applicationId = 'com.myapp.abwrenderer'
minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 13
targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 23
versionCode = 1
versionName = '1.0'
}
ndk {
platformVersion = 21
moduleName = 'abwrenderer'
toolchain = 'clang'
stl = 'gnustl_static'
cppFlags.addAll(['-std=c++11'])
ldLibs.addAll(['android', 'EGL', 'GLESv3', 'log', 'dl'])
}
You should take a look at the following NDK sample from Google to see how they did it: hello-libs
