So, I've been trying to program with openFrameworks, but before I was able to compile anything, I am greeted with an error message about missing libraries.
If you are using a Window's computer, make sure when you download Code::Blocks you choose the second download link (codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe). This makes sure you download mingw along with Code::Blocks. For some reason the minimalist development environment was not properly installed on my PC. I found an easy to use installer for those who decided to not get the Code::Blocks installer with mingw.
After properly installing mingw, I was able to write simple C++ codes with no problem.
