When trying to compile ofxCubeMap on Windows – Code::Blocks 12.11, the following error appears for both lines 125 and 126:
[...] \openFrameworks\addons\ofxCubeMap\ofxCubeMap.h|125 | error: declaration does not declare anything [-fpermissive]

Lines 125 and 126 are:

float near;
float far;

According to this post, both near and far are reserved words on WinDef.h

I don't understand everything that is going on here. As a quick solution, I just renamed them to _near and _far and it worked. There is probably a better solution though.
