Hi Ulf;
Way back in the bottom of this email, I asked about C/C++ support. Some
answers followed.
I work in a Windows environment and have cygwin (a Windows Linux) with
mingw and gcc.
There is no documentation of what is required for entries in "Compile
Command", "Build", "Clean" or "Run". So, I've tried different versions
of paths to reference the gcc toolset. So far, none have worked, except
for "Clean". What is more than puzzling is how to specify what is being
compiled to the compiler. In my case, I would like to use something like
"g++ -c -o obj/?" where the "?" is a question as to how I can specify
that the object file created goes to a separate directory.
This means that I have given up. My current procedure is to use g++
directly in a script or by typing in a bash shell. I use:
g++ -c obj/$1 $1 in a bash script to compile a file, and
for i in *.cpp; g++ -c obj/$i.o $i 2>> error.log; done. To compile
everything and save the errors.
Don't really know what else to do. There are no descriptions to follow,
nothing to say "hey, this is the correct way to do things", and there
hasn't been since NB 8.0. Without any guidelines it becomes a matter of
experimentation. And when you run out of ideas, why then, your done.
As a suggestion, if you are having undue difficulty then separate the
compile, build, run and debug tasks from NB and do it externally. That
allows you to go forward. Otherwise you may be experimenting for a bit.
As another note, for referencing CCLS or clangd, go to tools -> options
-> C/C++. I have no idea whether it works but I use
"C:\cygwin64\usr\clangd\bin\clangd.exe". Note that there is a selection
you have to make at the bottom, "Preferred server".
And one more (snarky) comment. In my C++ setup, the "Run -> Compile
file" selection is grayed out, so even if I wanted to, I can't work
effectively.
As to debug, well, since I have never gotten compiles and builds to
work, I've never gotten as far as debugging. But if I had, there is no
information as to what debugger is being used, this effects the compile
phase, and I don't think that there is an option to allow specification
of what debugger you want. There is also, no way to specify search
paths, which in my case means that I have to change my Windows
environment PATH to include cygwin paths.
I've been asking for help for C/C++ setup for years, yep, years. I would
be willing to take a try at developing documentation but I have never
been able to get it to work so I can't write about anything but failures.
If this all sounds like I'm frustrated, well, I am. And if it sounds, or
looks, like I'm not accurate in what I say, it's because I don't know
better. But, I truly do like NB, and I do think that the people who are
movers and shakers have done a great job, and one which I would like to
thank them for. But the developers attention have shifted from C/C++.

Hi Brad,
it seems you have good luck with it.
I have set up a small C project with NB 24 on Ubuntu to build a
library. Package ccls is installed. Must i be somehow registered in NB?
The build command is:
cc -s -ggdb -shared -fPIC media.c -o libmedia.so
When I set a breakpoint at some line and run "Debug", the program does
not stop at that line, and I don't see any variables.
How does that work?
Can someone tell me where the projects properties are saved?
I don't see a folder like .nbproject in my projects folder.
Regards,
Ulf

There is a plug-in: CPPLite Kit.
I am using NB23.
This kit needs either: ccls, or clangd.
I'm running on Linux and using ccls.
Regards,
Brad.

Have you received an answer? I'm still on version 12 due to this
issue. I tried moving on from version 12 and the upgrade failed
miserably. The C/C++ issue was one of the impediments.

Is C/C++ still supported? I've been trying to use Netbeans as my C/C++
IDE and have so far been unsuccessful. I have used it for Java with no
issues, but I can't seem to get it going for C/C++. Is there any
documentation or FAQ that can be used as a guideline for setup?
thanks
