1)Are all libraries able to funcion with any IDE? Such as, if i were to take a library from microsoft express and tried to use it with Dev-C++, or download PixelLight (OpenGL) and try to use those with Dev-C++?
The C++ standard will work with any IDE you choose. 3rd party libraries "should" work with any, you just have to download it and link it. It all depends on the compiler, IDE doesn't affect what libraries you can use
