I was wondering whether it's possible to use Microsoft's C++ compiler and linker with NetBeans IDE? If so, what's the best way of doing it.
P.S. I'm not interested in Mingw.
EDIT: Is it possible to get NetBeans to do error parsing (so that I can click on error and have NetBeans open the right file), intellisense, etc? I know NetBeans can work with g++ make files. Why not with nmake?
Let's open https://netbeans.org/downloads/ and click on the download button under the "C/C++" section. Note: If you plan on programming in other languages, e.g. Java, download the "all" NetBeans bundle. Install it (just keep clicking "Next") and run it.
you can use codeblocks it is also a well and exceptionally good for c/c++.
Unlike Eclipse (which uses its own Eclipse Java Compiler), Netbeans actually uses the internal API of javac for compiling, syntax highlighting, and error detection.
I am currently writing a plugin/toolchain to use Visual C++ on Netbeans.
You can find the project called VCC4N on source forge or on NetBeans plugins.
