Hi everyone, I am absolutely new to C (and programming in general). I installed netbeans and cygwin (with gcc, gdb, make, binutils and libgcc1) and wrote my first C code just to try it.

#include <stdio.h>


main() {

  printf("Hello world!\n");

}

When II hit the build button everything goes smoothly in the console. But afterward when I run the program the cygwin terminal pops up and I get this error:

Any idea what I can do to have my code run?Cannot run C code with netbeans + cygwin

You are running GCC on a POSIX emulation platform not natively, on Windows you should run a compiler port native to your system and the MinGW project is what you are looking for.

I will recommend Visual C++ for you (compiles C too). Although I dislike Microsoft and would like to avoid them at all times, I'll have to admit that I consider this the best IDE for C++, that there is. The compiler though, is not as good as GCC, but it's not far behind.

I would recommend Code::Blocks as IDE, but I think we (most of us?) will agree that Visual Studio has one the best debuggers.
