removing/changing cygwin

[Joffy]

Hey, i set up cygwin for netbeans 7.something and it didnt work, I read on another forum post they had the same sort of issue that im having so someone said to change to mingw. But how do I get rid of cygwin so that netbeans doesnt try to use it and instead uses mingw?

Hi Joffy,

Simplest way is rename cygwin folder (for example to cygwin~).
Start IDE, open tools options, C/C++, build tools and press restore
defaults.

ALright, and once thats done how would i then set it to use minGW? I have it downloaed and installed and changed my path to add it.
