How do I create a hello world c++ in Netbeans?

[dorlow]

I'm running Netbeans on Linux Mint. I'm trying to figure out how to create a hello world in Netbeans. I went into Tools --> Plugins and enabled c\c++. I start the project by selecting new project --> c++ --> C++ application. Then next my way though there. the next screen, it asks about a make file and I select c++. Then if I finish the wizard and then open main.cpp and enter in code...


#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>


int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

I get the compilation error...

Ok, it always happens. I post the question and then figure it out. I didn't figure out the above. But I figured out how to use g++ compiler.

I just wrote my code in vi, then g++ the code and ran a.out.

I did have to get rid of #include "stdafx.h"

Still would like to have netbeans for syntax highlighting.

Hi dorlow,

This is just a guess from googling, but have you read: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11912878/gcc-error-gcc-error-trying-to-exec-cc1-execvp-no-such-file-or-directory

Try this?
sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential
