This might be a horribly stupid question, but how do you make plugins for npp? I want to use it as an IDE and make a compile hotkey to use npp with mingw.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yeah, your question is pretty stupid. Joke. Have you considered if your plugin will return information to npp? I imagine that a functional IDE or front end will have some feature that reports the lines of where compilation fails. Your plugin can have a GUI where command switches are selected and after running a docked window displays results of the captured output.
Tell us what programming you intend to use.
