How to install Compiler/Debugger for NetBeans 8.2 via cygwin?

Question

I need to install: Cygwin C compiler, Cygwin C++ compiler, cygwin GNU debugger, Cygwin make utility. Can you give me instructions? Cuz internet didn't give me clear instructions.

Answer 1

Run the Cygwin installer and select only the packages you need: https://cygwin.com/install.html

Add the Cygwin lib and bin folders to your system environment variables: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

Finally, I found this for NB 7.3 - it should be a similar process: https://netbeans.org/community/releases/73/cpp-setup-instructions.html#compilers

It's not a step-by-step but it should get you there.

Answer 2

The problem is that I can't find the compiler I need into cygwin

Answer 3

When you run Cygwin you should see radio options for installing the compilers you need. They are gcc (C) and g++ (C++). https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/cpp-setup-instructions.html

Answer 4

How goes it? Did you resolve this?

Answer 5

Yes and no. I installed it but when I want to run an algorithm it shows me an error

Answer 6

What shows is:

Error: Unable to validate C:\cygwin\bin
Error: No mount point for root (/) is defined

Answer 7

Alright, almost there then. I believe you just need to add that path to your system environment variable. Make sure that the folder exists at the location and follow the link I gave you earlier about adding to your environment variables.

You will need to restart NetBeans in order to reload the environment variables (it's done only once on startup).

If that doesn't work, reboot your machine and try again. Let me know what happens.

Answer 8

I added a path before.. But I will try it to see if it's anything wrong.

Answer 9

The problem is that the last cygwin version supported by Win XP is 2.5.2 and I can't find it anywhere. (I want the 32-bit version)
