C/C++ Application Learning Trail

Developing C and C++ Applications

When you install the NetBeans IDE with C/C++ support, it includes project types for C and C++ and appropriate templates. You can create C/C++ applications with dynamic and static libraries, and you can also create C/C++ projects from existing code. The editor indents, completes, and syntax-highlights C and C++ code and is well integrated with the GNU gdb debugger.

In NetBeans IDE 6.5, C/C++ support includes the new Call Graph window and error highlighting in the Source Editor, lets you package completed applications as tar files, zip files, or SVR4 packages; and lets you define remote hosts and use development tools on those hosts to build and run projects from your client system.
