2 library related questions

a) how come if i want to use all of the cool libraries like sfml and boost i need visual studios? i know that you can use them with other ides but they rnt supported and i cant ever figure out how to set them up

b) how do you set up sfml and boost for code::blocks with mingw
I'm sure you don't only need VS to set up SFML. I don't know how to answer your second question because I'm more of an SDL guy.
Here is how to setup SFML in Code::Blocks - http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-cb.php

As for setting up Boost, I haven't tried that one yet.
@fredbill i know you can use it without vs but those two are meant to be installed for vs and it has the most support
