C++ in VS Code: Building your Code with CMake

[@MikeTwohey]

Wow that is complicated! I need a tool for CMake.

[@sukivirus]

more cmake tutorials please. sometimes intellisense does not respond if the cpp files are inside nested directory.

[@0xeb-]

any hotkey to run instead of clicking the status bar icon? why is F5 hotkey wanting to do its own things? is there a way to have the regular "Run" menu use the CMake tooling?

[@Tony-dp1rl]

I spent over 20 years developing in C++ daily before escaping. For those still trapped, I wish you well.

[@krishna_o15]

😂

[@blipojones2114]

Jokes aside, would you flat out just send unsuspecting victims to Rust, Zig, Go?

[@persimmon2298]

Which tarpit did you escape to? 😂

[@gordonelliott7870]

Did I just see the Microsoft Product Manager installing CMake onto a Mac (including the standard GUI way to move to the "Applications" folder, rather specific name used by Apple)? (Yes, chose version for "macOS 10.10 or later".) (I do appreciate the wide applicability of the tools and showing that on a different system. Just was a bit jarring.)

[@ChrisBlue4U]

Even Microsoft staff isn’t using Windows 😂 don’t blame her

[@cokpot635]

The irony. Why is microsoft employee using mac??

[@ignacionr]

CMake has this problem that every feature has a randomly created command name. There is absolutely no norm or reasoning in what are the command names.

[@paulnnamdi4098]

Nice tutorial. You didn't state the keyboard shortcut you used to enter the Command Palette in Vscode (It is Ctrl + Shift + P). Again at that "Set Build Target" things were a little muddled up, because if you click it, it lists out Presets for you to select from and gives you the option to add a new Preset, but you just entered the name skipping a step and also without stating whether you added an additional Preset.

Love your video❤

[@williamsf.h.227]

Can you please provide a class for adding more file to CMAKE in just 2 steps?

[@wesleytaylor-rendal5648]

Why don't you give an examlpe with dependencies?

[@chulavista5239]

Since Visual Studio Community Edition is free, what are any good reasons we might wish to develop C++ in VS Code? Just curious.

[@khalilhashmi7570]

I have problem with CMake, when I select the side popup bar for CMake It shows [Target in Preset] for (Build), I couldn't change it to (MyCMakeproject). can you help me?

[@ajays1647]

I am trying to setup CMakeLists.txt automatically bia command pallete from Vs code i am getting an error: Bad CMake executable: "cmake.cmakePath". Check to make sure it is installed or the value of the "cmake.cmakePath" setting contains the correct path

[@josemarcos1519]

Hello everyone! I would like to suggest that VSCode have a theme that follows the Windows 11 theme, including the Mica effect on the top menu bar and status bar, as it does in Microsoft Edge.

[@sciencejournal8831]

I want video on setup of c++ and opencv , cmake in vs code editor

[@alexanderkuznetsov634]

Thank you

[@torrenttv7567]

how can you generate content for CMakePresets.json at kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXO6hmijjNaJd5Y , I watched original video but still don't understand

[@maciej1214]

How to compile a single cpp file? Many times there is an error that file cannot be compiled.

[@koraironams4656]

😂😂

[@tarik_hello]

Hey! This could be due to the compiler you are trying to use. If you are trying to compile a C++ file, make sure you are using a g++ compiler or its equivalent.

[@razorblade413]

that's why i prefer coding in java...no bs with unnecessary files. Just straight to develop an app.

[@razorblade413]

i wanted to learn c++ from scratch, but after seeing that i need to download compilers, cmake, and whatever other tools, instead of just using a IDE and make a simple f project, i prefer to quit this. Never again!

[@m____s]

@@razorblade413 What do you use instead?

[@akompsupport]

Nice! 🎂
