So what should I do now?Code:http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/6.0/final/
I suggest you follow the instructions given in the "Installing MinGW" section of this Introducing Netbeans C/C++ Pack article.
Basically, you also need to install MSYS and use the make provided by MSYS instead of the make provided by the basic MinGW installation.
By the way, if you are like me and hate the .cc default source file extension for C++, you can change it in Tools -> Options -> Advanced Options -> IDE Configuration -> System -> Object Types -> C++ Data Objects.

So I need to install MSYS. Right? So from where can I get the installer?
Actually I have installed the compiler through 'MinGW-5.1.3.exe' which downloaded the latest components and installed.
From the MinGW download area on SourceForge, under "MSYS Base System". The current installer is MSYS-1.0.10.exe. After installation, remember to add the MSYS bin directory to the system path.So I need to install MSYS. Right? So from where can I get the installer?
Yes, but MSYS is separate from MinGW, even though both are developed by the MinGW team.Actually I have installed the compiler through 'MinGW-5.1.3.exe' which downloaded the latest components and installed.

you can install wascana, its a preconfigured distribution of mingw and msys sou you just have to run the installer and can compile immedately

WOW! So much thanks...It worked! Thank you LaserLight!
But now it shows Windows cannot find 'sh'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. Any further changes please?
Now it worked! I have included the path of sh in PATH!...Thanks once again!
Looks good, but the bad part about such all-in-one installers is that it is a 90+ MB download when anirban only needs about 20+ MB worth of packages.you can install wascana, its a preconfigured distribution of mingw and msys sou you just have to run the installer and can compile immedately
You're welcomeWOW! So much thanks...It worked! Thank you LaserLight!

so i try to run my c++ program in netbeans. it builds and everything but then when i go to run it i also get the Windows cannot find 'sh'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. How do i include that.
This should be a separate question, but thanks for using the search facility!
sh is a shell (Bourne shell, to be exact) under Linux/UNIX that's not part of Windows, unless you've installed Cygwin. I assume you're trying to run an exec() function containing "sh some_command"?
