This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The Dialog which appears when no C/C++ toolset is configured includes the instruction, "Visit http://netbeans.org/community/releases/69/cpp-setup-instructions.html for further assistance in installing and configuring a build environment." These are the instructions for a prior version of Netbeans. The correct link for 7.1 is http://netbeans.org/community/releases/71/cpp-setup-instructions.html The link needs to point to a release disambiguation page, or be updated with every release of Netbeans.

(In reply to comment #1) > Checking in cygwin tells me it is correctly installed!? You missed 6th step from http://netbeans.org/community/releases/72/cpp-setup-instructions.html : 6. Select each package you want to download by clicking the Skip label next to it, which reveals the version number of the package to download.
