Description jproto 2007-01-24 09:41:32 UTC 
I have installed cygwin and “C/C++ development Pack”, on Windows XP, following 
these installation instructions: 
http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/55/cnd-install.html

However my setting in “Tools > Options > C/C++ > Code Assistance > Parser 
Settings” is not recognized.

When I open welcome.cc file form Welcome sample project, I see an error on

    #include <iostream.h>

specifying that “Cannot find include file”, whereas compilation and execution 
don’t produce any error.

In parser setting, there is this line:

    /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward

and I have checked: file iostream.h exists in
    “C:\Progs\cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\3.4.4\include\c++\backward”
directory.


Workaround:
I have duplicated (in same order) all directories in the setting, and all
works.
Comment 1 jproto 2007-01-24 10:04:08 UTC 
I see that I have forgotten an important detail.
I have duplicated all paths with windows path. 
For example:
    /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward
Has been duplicated as:
    C:\Progs\cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\3.4.4\include\c++\backward
Comment 2 Jan Lahoda 2007-01-24 10:05:13 UTC 
The category for C/C++ Pack is "cnd".
Comment 3 jproto 2007-01-24 10:06:43 UTC 
Sorry
Comment 4 _ gsporar 2007-03-31 01:40:36 UTC 
Is this really a P3?  Or should it maybe be a P2?

It seems like this would affect everyone who uses the C/C++ Pack on WinXP, which
might be rather a large percentage of the C/C++ Pack users, right?

I know it bit me....  Admittedly, the work around is easy enough to use, but it
certainly does not make for a very good first impression/out-of-box experience.
Comment 5 Vladimir Voskresensky 2007-03-31 13:15:02 UTC 
I agree, at least P2 to pay more attention on this usability bug.
We have tools rework (http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90786)
which should simplify configuration and validatation of used settings.
Comment 6 _ gordonp 2007-04-03 19:03:54 UTC 
Removing dependency on 90786. That task was never intended to rewrite the
code assistance panel.
Comment 7 Thomas Preisler 2007-05-30 01:26:05 UTC 
I believe this has been fixed (in 5.5.1). Paths in parser options dialog are now
'Windows' paths. Or am I missing something?

Will mark this bug FIXED. Please reopen with explanation of what is not working
if it still doesn't work with 5.5.1.
