I am currently learning opengl programming and had the realisation that i could write a simple opengl reference plugin for code blocks, under the impression that "Plugins" are supposedly easily constructable, modular enhancements.
The idea was simple but in reality it seems very unlikely that i can achieve this, not because writing the logic or programming the script/code to do it is difficult, but because setting up the environment and multiple libraries and components is frustratingly difficult.
I have attempted to follow the wiki example for setting up and creating a wxWigets hello world project, for installing and compiling both SDKs without luck, twice :x
Anyway, a simple task turned into a nightmare because of escalating complexity which just shouldnt be necessary for achieving the goal.
Ill now not be developing my plugin
and wanted to vent some.....grrr...
