I’m a little rusty so take with a grain of salt…

(1) Are using the C/C++ plugin?
(2) What version of Netbeans are you using?
(3) What shell are you using (I.e., Command prompt [DOS], Powershell, or
[Cygwin] bash shell)?

If I remember correctly, command prompt and power shell uses “\”, while
bash uses “/“ for path delimiters.  Mixture in different shells may cause
some things to not be found correctly.

Cygwin does have cygpath  command to help translate between formats which
may help.
