Cannot compile c code on netbeans windows

Question

I am not able to complile c code in netbeans I am getting the following error.

Cannot run program "C:\cygwin64\bin\makeinfo" (in directory "C:\Users\prjwl\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Hearts"): CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

I have followed netbeans intallation guidelines and cygwin seems to be working from the command line.

I have also checked for missing dll's and checked settings in Tools->options->c++ to see if the build tools are set properly Snapshot of the configuration

If anyone knows what exactly am I doing wrong, Help me

Sounds like a directory permissions issue

makeinfo is not part of your C compilation process, it is a documentation generator, used usually in conjunction with GNU autools.

You should be able to install it by installing the texinfo Cygwin package.

Note that makeinfo is NOT make, by far. If you need make, install that Cygwin package as well, and set "Make Command" to C:\cygwin64\bin\make.exe (in your case).
