Hi, I too am trying to get C++ to work. I’ve just raised https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6413 because although I can install C++ and get a C++ test program to run, the debugger fails. Watching the install it looks as though it installs gdb.
I’ve attached my writeup of the exact steps taken and am happy to update this with input from others to see if we can get C++ to work repeatably. I’ve read a lot, e.g. https://netbeans.apache.org//kb/docs/cnd/quickstart.html<https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/cnd/quickstart.html> https://www.shayanderson.com/application/setup-netbeans-for-c-and-c-compilers.htm https://tutsmaster.org/how-to-install-c-c-on-netbeans-ide/ and Bradley Wilcott’s email of 18th Jan 2022. In summary, I can get the compiler to work in NetBeans on both Mac OS and Windows 10 but can’t get the debugger to work. Perhaps we can work together to crack this ?

I recently changed to JDK 17 (for Gradle) so good to know you can install and then change back up again. Thanks a lot, appreciate that :thumbsup Jonathan [Image removed by sender.]ᐧ On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 11:04 PM Michael Bien <mbie...@gmail.com<mailto:mbie...@gmail.com>> wrote: you should be able to install old plugins if you start NB on JDK 8 or 11 since they still have pack200 support. after its installed you can start on JDK 17 again. you can change the path to the JDK in etc/netbeans.conf -mbien On 24.01.22 10:58, Jonathan Bergh wrote: hi, I was wondering whether anyone had any tips on how to solve the following - I saw on the mailing list that someone (cant remember who) was using the old NB 8.2 C/C++ plugin with one of the new Apache NB releases. I would like to do the same. I have configured the 8.2 plugin repo and clicked install on the C/C++ module, which downloads, and partially installs, but then fails when trying to "validate" the modules. There is an option to locate Unpack200 manually, otherwise clicking OK appears to hang the install. Does anyone have any tips on how to get this plugin installed? Thanks a lot in advance [Image removed by sender.]ᐧ
