Answer 1

If you have downloaded and installed the C/C++ plug-in for NetBeans 8+ following the instructions on this page:

https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/cpp-setup-instructions.html

you have a C/C++ item in the upper menu of the Tools > Options panel. 1.) Click it.

2.) Now under the list called "Tool Collection" (on the left) click the left button "Add".

3.) In the window that opens, enter the "/usr/bin" as a base directory.

4.) If you have a CLang compiler installed right the "Tool Collection Family" drop-down menu will show a CLang collection. Choose it.

5.) Click "OK" in the pop-up window, then click "OK" in the "Options" panel/window.

Enjoy.
