Installing the C/C++ Compilers
A C/C++ development environment requires a minimum of four tools:
- gcc: a C compiler
- g++: a C++ compiler
- gdb: a C/C++ debugger
- make: a build utility
Versions of these exist for all major platforms. See the
NetBeans C/C++ Support page for instructions on how to install them.
To test if you've done everything right, follow the Verifying the
Installation instructions on the C/C++ Support page.
