Netbeans fails to execute perl script when compiling C++ project

Question

I installed Netbeans 6.9.1 with C++ support. I also installed MinGW.

When I create a C++ project and run it, I get this:

I checked the c++ configuration in Netbeans: (looks good)

Perl is installed on my PC under c:\perl

I tried reinstalling Netbeans and I tried removing Netbeans and Perl then reinstalled Netbeans. It didn't work (perl is not recognized as internal command).

Otherwise, I have to work with devcpp :( (I like Netbeans functionality better:) )

Answer 1

I think the problem is that you installed Netbeans in a directory with a space in the name: "Program Files". Many UNIX tools do not work properly with paths containing spaces. Try to reinstall Netbeans in a a directory that does not contain spaces.

Answer 2

apparently i had to change the path to msys in netbeans because i installed some package to develop in symbian
