I recently got a Raspberry Pi and I’ve installed the Raspbian “wheezy” image onto it. My main development machine is running Windows 7, and I’m using Qt Creator as my development environment. I’m trying to find a tool chain that my main computer can use to compile my c++ application for the Raspberry Pi. I’ve looked all over the place for tutorials and articles on how to do this but all I can find is tutorials for compiling from linux to windows. Which is the opposite of what I’m trying to do. I also noticed that there’s a image available that comes with the Qt SDK but I’d rather use the Raspbian image for now. Has anyone been able to find a way get there programs from windows to there Pi? I’m a serious novice when it come’s to cross-compiling. D:

    I to have recently got myself a Raspberry Pi.

    I normally develop in Java and use NetBeans, but started using NetBeans to develop C and C++ applications. To do this I have installed Cygwin on my Windows 7 to be able to compile windows based applications.

    However, I can also compile my application for my Raspberry Pi using the same NetBeans IDE. All I had to do was right-click on the project name in NetBeans, select Set build host, then Manage Hosts and a dialog will be displayed. Select Add and enter your Raspberry Pi IP Address in the hostname-field, then click Next.

    Netbeans will try to establish a connection to the Raspberry Pi via SSH so you must ensure that SSH is enabled. Enter you Raspberry Pi user name in the login-field and click Next again. You will be prompted to confirm the SSH keys and enter the Raspberry Pi user name.

    Now just confirm the details, click finish, and have fun.
