Here are the first few paragraphs of the link you just provided (above):

Is it possible to use MinGW in C/C++ Development?

Yes, you can use MinGW tools with the C/C++ Development pack. Go to 
http://www.mingw.org and follow the instructions in the Getting Started 
document http://mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started to install the compiler 
suite, the gdb debugger. and the MSYS make.exe program..

Add the paths to the ..programs\msys\<version-number>\bin and 
..\programs\MinGW\bin directories at the beginning of your PATH.

Configuring the NetBeans C/C++ pack to use the MinGW Tools:

Note: This is not necessary with NetBeans IDE 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5 (at 
least under Windows XP). After logging in again or rebooting the PC, 
NetBeans configures itself appropriately.

In NetBeans 5.5.1, compiling works, but the C++ editor is not aware of 
the include files and will mark all functions like printf() etc. as 
missing by a red line. To cure this, choose Tools > Options, select 
C/C++ in the left pane, and click Parser Settings in the Code Assistance 
section of the C/C++ Settings page. Choose the appropriate Tab (C or C++ 
Compiler), click Add, and add all the folders that contain the header 
files. NetBeans does not search the folders recursively, you have to add 
each folder.
