title: How to correctly configure netbeans 6.7 and c++ on windows?
body: <p>I have installed and configured NetBeans 6.7 for c++ according to the official manual:
  <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/67/cpp-setup-instructions.html#mingw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/67/cpp-setup-instructions.html#mingw</a></p>
  
  <p>Configuration window looks like this:
  <img src="https://files.getdropbox.com/u/366984/netbeans.jpg" alt="netbeans config"></p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, at 'compile' command following line is displayed:</p>
  
  <p>/usr/bin/make -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf
  BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 642ms)</p>
  
  <p>Since i'm on windows and it's no /usr/bin/make, no executable is compiled :(. How to correctly configure NetBeans so it will use make from it's config, not from /usr/bin?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Updated</strong></p>
  
  <p>Problem is only with mingw/msys toolchain. It works OK with cygwin (same /usr/bin/make message is displayed, but executable IS created). So the question can be changed to: Can Netbeans 6.7 work with mingw on Windows, or i'm limited to cygwin?</p>
