Download and install NetBeans 7.0.1

Go to http://netbeans.org/downloads/ in order to download the latest version of NetBeans for your OS/platform.

You can either choose the full download (~200 MB) or just the C/C++ bundle which is about 50 MB.

After downloading NetBeans, you'll need to install it

Installing required modules (plugins)

Using the plugin installer, you need to install the following plugins

  • cvs
  • svn (subversion)
  • git

Checking out the required dependencies

You will need to check out the repositories for the following dependencies:

  • Boost
  • OpenAL
  • OpenSceneGraph (OSG)
  • PLIB
  • SimGear
  • FlightGear

After checking out the repositories, you'll want to use the NetBeans project wizard to CREATE A NEW PROJECT FROM EXISTING SOURCES for each dependency.

For CMake-based projects, you'll want to point NetBeans to the CMakeLists.txt file instead of the configure script.

Next, you should set up project dependencies.
