NetBeans IDE 6.8 not working nicely with cygwin 1.7.5.1
- by Milktrader
I'm trying to use NetBeans to compile C code and have the following versions from cygwin
gcc 3.4.5
g++ 3.4.5
GNU Make 3.81
GNU gdb 6.8.0
Here are the messages from trying to compile the Welcome program
/usr/bin/make -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf

Is it worth downloading a previous cygwin version (1.5)? Blog tutorials (including the NetBeans site) have this older version in their examples.
