No, you don't need to install all packages. At the very least, you will need

gcc4
gcc4-g++
binutils
make

You will probably need

gdb

You may need

autoconf
automake
libtool

You'll have to ensure that NetBeans can run Cygwin's gcc and/or make.
You can achieve this by putting C:\cygwin\bin into the Windows version
of PATH.

Hope this helps,
Csaba
