Why is installing stuff so hard?

Eclipse needs a compiler, then I'm sure it would get even harder from that point

Code::blocks seems to be pretty easy but I can't get the variable set for where the wxwidgets files are...it doesn't tell you WHAT files it's looking for, just that you've selected a bad location for the files that it is looking for.

The only IDE that I can comfortably do stuff in is VS 2010 -- I've spent more time trying to set stuff up than I have learning how to code. I don't want to be reliant on Microsoft stuff when it comes to programming, which is the only reason I'd like to get something else set up.
If you do an Empty project instead of a Console project or one of the other convoluted project types, you can be MS-independent. (no need to include some weird stdafx header and your main function literally is main and not some other name)
