I have this makefile which includes all the right files and stuff. However I'm under Windows and I'm using CodeBlocks, when I open the makefile with CodeBlocks it gives me "CodeBlocks does not yet know this filetype". How do I use this under Windows? Is there an option to import a project from a makefile I don't see?
IDEs present a single program in which all development is done. This program typically provides many features for authoring, modifying, compiling, deploying and debugging software. This contrasts with software development using unrelated tools, such as vi, GCC or make.

IDEs are not monolithic in design. How do you distinguish an IDE that has many logical components from a more traditional arrangement of many separate programs?
All modern IDEs are designed to work with user provided build specifications that are also consumable by standalone build tools. Visual Studio integrates with nmake, nant and msbuild; Eclipse and Netbeans have make, ant, and maven. Not being able to decouple the build process from the IDE creates many problems that larger software projects needn't accept.

So VS is somehow not a text editor that can call other tools to make them do stuff of provide it with data? What is it then, an image editor, you fucking nimrod?
