Discussing about "Building a development environment for Windows"

[ggaliens]

Neon. Back when I was committed to writing plain old plugins and not interested in compiling and building entire WINGS ...

I would INSTALL a binary/installer version of Wings3d. And then I would "Pad that environment out" With just enough wings headers and things that I could build my plugins.

The total steps to do that and start writing plugins was amazingly low. I didn't have MSYS or cygwin or any of those gobs of things. I just had MAKE for win32 and a few other faux unix tools and some headers and sources for Erlang. That't it. I don't know many people that did it that way ... but it sure worked.

So long long ago.
