NetBeans + MinGW + Boost + C++ = annoying

[IWishIKnew]

I just switched from Code::Blocks to NetBeans yesterday, and I posted on the forums... The NetBeans forums are pretty quiet... and I have not been able to find an answer yet, so I come here with this problem:

NetBeans won't even compile a "hello world" program and I can't figure out why.

Here is the build Log:

"C:/MinGW/bin/make" -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk QMAKE= SUBPROJECTS= .clean-conf

So... it failed....

I can't figure out why.

[IWishIKnew]

Ok, so I thought I might have an out-dated compiler, and I was right. 9.5, now 10.0. So now I'm updated, and it still throwing up sh1t on me.... I don't know what to do, Code::Blocks did what I wanted it to and NetBeans seems to have somthing to nitpick about....

New Compiler Errors (got rid of that other one...)

so... one step forward.... 2 steps back.... I would oh-so-dearly like to get to work.... -,O'

I'm not familiar with netbeans but it's looking for /bin/sh which is in MSYS, have you installed it?

[IWishIKnew]

yes, I've installed MSYS.

Hold on, I will try somthing then.

oh, i know exactly what the problem is....

You see:

/bin/sh.exe: /c/Users/Username/Desktop/C++/Coin Flipper/C:/Program

It's bitching about spaces.... (-,-') uhg...

[IWishIKnew]

omg it works now.

I re-installed MSYS under C:\ instead of under C:\Program Files.
