MingW Netbeans 6.9.1 problem

Question

I have one problem with MingW(mingw-get-inst-20110211) and Netbeans 6.9.1. I installed MingW and add it to Netbeans without problem, but when I try to run one simple cpp app, throws this error

mkdir -p build/Debug/MinGW-Windows
make[2]: mkdir: Command not found
make[2]: [build/Debug/MinGW-Windows/main.o] Error 127
make[1]: [.build-conf] Error 2
make: [.build-impl] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/c/Documents and Settings/Marco/My Documents/NetBeansProjects/CppApplication_1'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/Documents and Settings/Marco/My Documents/NetBeansProjects/CppApplication_1'
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 1s)

I already write "path", MingW it's installed on "C:\MingW".

Hope someone can tell what's wrong or what I forgot to do.

Thanks

Answer 1

It's was kind of messy but finally get a way.

1° Install MinGW (C/C++ en my particular case)

2° Install MSYS (Answer two or three question at the end of installation, refering where MinGW is installed)

3° Add to Netbeans(Tools>Options>C/C++) the "\MinGW\bin" adress. It should look like this

It should be it regarding installation, but when a new project is created you should add this library to the project folder, it seems to be a problem with dynamic compile(I don't really know the problem but this should fix it).

That's all.

Sounds a lot like what I advised you. If my answer was helpful, you should go ahead and vote it. – Centimeter

I have a detailed guide here – Gondi

Answer 2

You should add C:\msys\1.0\bin to your system path and restart the IDE. It should solve the problem.

Answer 3

follow this guide as making MinGW work under Netbeans requires an additional couple of steps (specifically MSYS' make).

Edit:

Make sure the correct executables are specified in the Toolchain (Tools -> Options -> C/C++).

I think this version installs MSYS and I tried that guide but every link to "how to" is broken – Ashlan

If you did install MinGW and MSYS' make correctly, make sure the correct executable is specified in the Toolchain (Tools, Options, C/C++). I did an installation of Netbeans 6.9.1 with MinGW few days ago and following that guide, everything worked like a charm. – Centimeter

Answer 4

Add C:\msys\1.0\bin to Windows system path, and please add it at the beginning.

I got the same error when I add it to the tail of the path, then I add it at the beginning, it worked!
