    Enabling Cygwin in Netbeans and header file issues.

    I've already installed Cygwin and also set the ENV variables in Windows, but most fields are blank when I set Cygwin as the default build tool.

    In addition, after setting Cygwin as the default build tool, my original MinGW seems to be affected. Now every header file, including <stdio.h> , cannot be found.
    " cannot find include file <stdio.h> " error message.

    I tried changing the directories in the Tools>Options>Code Assistance tab it doesn't work too.

    Any help is very much appreciated, thanks.

    Solved it, apparently I've to select the proper packages such as 'make' during cygwin install.

    I thought it was selected by default.

    Cheers.
