How to install C/C++ compiler in netbeans?

Question

If I start netbeans, it is saying "No suitable compilers were found on your system. The IDE needs a suitable set of compilers and other build tools in order to work correctly.

If you already have compilers on your system but they were not found, do one of the following:

1) Exit the IDE, add your compilers to your PATH environment variable, and restart the IDE.

2) Open the Build Tool dialog in Tools | Options | C/C++ | Build Tools and add your compiler(s) to the setup.

If you do not already have compilers on your system, do:

3) Download and install a suitable set of compilers and restart the IDE.

Visit http://netbeans.org/community/releases/69/cpp-setup-instructions.html for further assistance in installing and configuring a build environment." But I can't install it in the given website.. Please tell me how to do that.

You need to install a set of compilers like it tells you to. There are two options – Cygwin and MSYS/MinGW. They both provide Linux-like environments for Windows, and have g++ and the other utilities NetBeans requires.

You can get Cygwin from http://cygwin.com/install.html and MinGW from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/fi… . Cygwin would probably be easiest to install, so try that one first and if it fails uninstall it and try MinGW. The NetBeans page contains instructions, not the actual installers (although it does have links to the Cygwin and MinGW sites).

Answer 2

download the netbeans full pack that supports all that you need...
It will be around 250MB... that will solve your problem
or
you can download the module you needed and install... read the instructions online... you can find the source of download and instructions on the source url I included...
