digitalmars.D.learn - OpenGL Setup?

Last time I worked on anything OpenGL in D I was using a Linux

I'm using Windows 7 at the moment and I'd like to work on some 
graphics stuff but I'm pretty lost...

I just want to install an IDE that's not prone to crashing and 
comes with standard features like D syntax highlighting, code 
completion, code folding, side bar with my project's directory, 
integrated console, bindable key commands (build (with dub), run, 
stop), and some debugging help doesn't hurt but I can get by 
without being able to set break points... and then I need to get 
the right libs and bindings in order nut half of them I can't 
figure out the instructions for.

What I've been trying to do for the past few hours is set up 
SublimeText3 with dub and get the derelictGLFW3 binding to work, 
but I can't even get dkit working, and I'd honestly rather be 
using code::blocks but I've had trouble getting D code completion 
working in that before, and while I could probably get SFML 
bindings to work (as their documentation caters to idiots like 
me), I don't really want to use it, I just want something small 
that handles an OpenGL window without the other stuff.

If anyone's got a solid setup and can explain to me like I'm 5 
how they got it all nice, that'd really help me out a lot. Thanks.

I notice the ST3 plugin was a bit... flaky the last time I tried 
it (admittedly about 6 months ago).

I ended up settling on vim with a few plugins (and live without 
auto-complete, it's not that important for me), but when I was 
using GUI text editors, I settled on VS Code with the code-d 
plugin. Its autocomplete etc worked pretty much out of the box 
for me.

https://code.visualstudio.com/
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.code-d

Make sure you follow the 'dependencies' section of code-d through 
though to get your env set up. It worked outta the box for me, on 
both windows and linux.

You can get VS Code to compile via ctrl+B (I think that was the 
shortcut) but you've to make a modification to a json file to 
tell it to do it.

If you need more help let me know and I'll write up something 
proper for you.

Cheers!

I sadly can't help you there, as I use Vim. But i do have a basic 
set up of GLFW. It's for mac but it should be too hard to make it 
work for windows.

If you have any questions about my code, just ask.

The arsd stuff just gives me a thick list of internal errors when 
I try to import it through dub. But I might almost have GLFW 
working... I can't really tell yet, but I did finally find the 
right dll to link to (files in the Windows x64 binaries kept 
giving me an error, but the one x64 dll in the x86 download ended 
up working).

Not keen to try vim if it doesn't have the features I need to 
compensate for being a shitty programmer.

I have been using Textadept ( http://foicica.com/textadept/ ) with
Textadept-d ( https://github.com/Hackerpilot/textadept-d ). I use mostly on
Linux for development, but I've recently spent two or three days on Windows
and things worked well enough for me.

(Coming for someone who has used Emacs for everything int he last 15+
years, this must mean something :-) )

Hope this helps,
