Assuming you've gotten through all or most of the checklist items, which
includes a lot of background reading material that helps you understand the
code layout, your next steps are to explore and start using code. There are a
lot of docs, but not much that will be immediately relevant to your project.
I suggest you start by reading similar code and writing a test program that
simply creates a libdm window. For that you can simply start with the dm.h
header and look into the myriad of examples in the src/util directory. See the
CMakeLists.txt file to see which link against libdm.
There are no IDE requirements other than you should use a dev environment that
is intended for c/c++ and you should become very proficient with it. I use
emacs, but there are many perfectly viable options including vim, eclipse, and
even visual studio. They're just tools. Someone intimately familiar with any
of those will be more productive than someone that is not.
Cheers!
Sean
