Pls guys, i need help on how to configure netbeans IDE 6.1 for c++. I only have bloodshed dev C++ on my system but netbeans says it doesn't detect any compiler on the system. If i have to download a new compiler, pls give me links and directions if possible, and no RAPIDSHARE!

Can anyone also get me links to good game programming tutorials that have actually been beneficial to a beginner programmer(there's a whole load of silly lazy tutorials on the net ).

And to all my Naija programmers, when can we expect a good software that wasn't developed for money(i mean business software), how soon can we expect good programs that actually motivate others especially beginners llike me,  .

I love naija,  I really do,  Lets do whats best and not chase after unnecessary things like money.

And for those who are worried about the prospects of self taught programmers like me,  I think we programmers can and should prove ourselves before seeking jobs by making the best of what we have( There's a lot of tools around to work with ) and do the best we can. The best programmers today started as hobbyists doing what they loved best ( i don't have to mention names )  .

download the latest Netbeans IDE with C/C++ plugin and Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/ .The compiler will be automatically detected after you have done these.
