  • 💎 Using VS Code (recommended)
• 🙏 Credits

I recommend using VS Code.

• CMake

• A compiler :

  • Visual Studio (the software or the compiler only) (recommended)

  • MinGW (not recommended)

• Visual Studio (recommended) :

  • Run the vs32_run.bat (for 32 bits) or the vs64_run.bat (for 64 bits) to create the project

  • Then run the file in .sln in the build folder

(Run the .bat file again each time you add or remove a file)

• MinGW (not recommended) :

  • Open a terminal in the project root and type : .\mingw_run.bat to create and compile the project

  • Then type : .\build\App.exe to run the program (or something else if you changed the name)

(Type the first command when you want to compile and the second when you want to run the program)

• CMake

• A compiler :

  • GCC for Linux

  • Clang for MacOS

The easiest way is to open a terminal and type : sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade, then type :

• For Linux : sudo apt install gcc g++ make cmake gdb

• For MacOS : sudo apt install clang clang++ make cmake lldb

• Open a terminal in the project root and type : bash unix_run.sh to create and compile the project

• Then type : ./build/App to run the program (or something else if you changed the name)

(Type the first command when you want to compile and the second when you want to run the program)

• The "What you need" part of your OS (above)

• The C/C++ Extension Pack

• Ctrl + Shift + P and type "scan for kits", then choose you compiler (I recommend the Visual Studio compiler for Windows)

• Choose "debug" or "release" at the bottom

• Go to "Preferences", then "Settings" and type "cmake debug", then clic on "Edit in settings.json" that will open the settings.json file

• Add this at this end (don't forget the comma on the previous element) :

   "cmake.debugConfig": {
   	"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
   }

• If there is a build folder, delete it and reload VS Code

• Wait until the CMakeLists.txt runs or choose again "debug" or "release" at the bottom

(Choose "debug" or "release" again each time you add or remove a file and clic on the play button at the bottom to compile and run the program)
