I have solved my problems, but I'll outline them for you and future readers. I'm running the NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 which I installed no problems. I checked the NetBeans forums for Compiler info and was recommended Cygwin which I downloaded. Lacking in the information at the time as to which packages to install, I installed them all. Then, when trying to BUILD or DEBUG from NetBeans IDE i recieved the error 'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I also recieved this message when typing Cygwin into the usr/Cygwin/ install directory, i recieved the same message. Running SETUP.EXE I noticed that the SIZE of BASH was listed as "?", ie: no size. After trawling thru a few different lists and forums, i UNINSTALLed the BASH and RE-INSTALLED. I no longer recieved the "'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command..." error message, but a new error saying that cygintl-8.dll could not be found... I checked the /BIN/ directory and found cygintl-1.dll ONLY... Checked online, found that there were dif versions of some of the DLLs that staretd cygintl-1.dll and then evolved as cygintl-2.dll upto the current cygintl-8.dll. Tried to REINSTALL bash yet again, but still the same cygintl-8.dll missing error. I searched my whole hard drive and found that on the first (aborted) installation to a different path, it had installed the cygintl-8.dll which I then copied into the current install BIN directory. I repeated this for about 5 or 6 other .dll files. This resolved my problems and NetBeans IDE and Cygwin appear to be able to BUILD, DEBUG etc with no problems.
