- Download and install NetBeans with C/C++ support
- Download and install MingW
- Download and install MSys inside the base directory of MingW
- Point the environment variables "path" to where the /bin of MingW and MSys
- Run NetBeans and go to \Tools\Options\C++ and add in the tool chain the base directory of MingW
- For the C compiler point the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev0\mingw32\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
- For the C++ compiler point the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev0\mingw32\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-c++.exe
- For the debugger point the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev0\mingw32\bin\gdb.exe
- For the make point the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev0\MSYS-20111123\msys\bin\make.exe
- Click apply then close your NetBeans and open it again
- Create new C/C++ project and build


That's it!
