Via Windows command line, how can we compile a Netbeans C/C++ application?

Let's take this simple C/C++ application Netbeans project folder.

In Netbeans IDE, we just hit build button on the toolbar to build the application.

I want to do that automatically via Windows command line, how can I do that?

I did google, and found some related posts though not very helpful for me except telling me to call ant dist - though I don't have the build.xml in my Netbeans 8 project.

p.s. I have hundreds of student submissions and need to verify which one is compilable. I also post on Netbeans forum here.

NetBeans uses Makefile-based projects as default for C/C++ projects, so you can use make to build your project:

cd <Project dir>
make

It's also possible to build other make-targets (eg. make all or make test (builds / runs tests)).

Note: The Cygwin bin dir (CYGWIN_HOME\bin) must be in system PATH - same applies to other environments (MinGW, Gcc etc).
