This set of instructions will walk you through setting up a NetBeans C++ project from scratch.

When you have finished this tutorial you will be able to compile a working Ogre Application and you will be ready to start the Basic Tutorials.

Prerequisites

You need to make sure you've installed the C++ extensions before continuing.
Also make sure that you've create a CMake project as outlined in Building Your Projects With CMake

Setting up a NetBeans Ogre project

Conclusion

While NetBeans is a great programming environment, it seems to pollute the source directory completely as there doesn't seem to be a way to specify a separate build directory.
So make sure that you have a copy (or make one) of your source before letting it loose.
