Description

some of these docs look a little out of date or could use love:

  • linux, needs info about what script you need to run for the project generator. Also, is code::blocks supported?
  • vs, info seems really thin here and should be rewritten for tone. help clarify vs 2012 for 0.8.4, vs2015 for 0.9, etc...
  • codeblocks, should we delete this?
  • apps and examples, seems thin -- not sure what the point of this is
  • xcode, is there more info we can provide? This doc suggests the old way of making a new project (copy and paste).

Research direction

Start in OF_ROOT/docs and review the linux, vs, codeblocks, apps and examples, and xcode documents together. Verify the project-generator instructions and platform/version guidance, then decide which outdated or unnecessary sections need revision or removal. Done means the affected documents accurately explain current workflows and their purpose is clear.
