The OSS version is basically the VSCode you’d get by downloading it from official repository and building it yourself. I don’t use MacOS so i can’t really tell.įun fact there are two versions of VSCode you can find on the internet and in package managers - OSS version, and Non-OSS. Otherwise, use the installer from official site.įor MacOS: same as for Linux. btw i strongly recommend scoop - great package managerįor Linux: if you have it in your package manager repository, install it from there. Install it from the official site:, or from a repository if you’re using a package manager.įor Windows: either download the installer from official site and run it, or install VSCode via scoop: scoop install vscode. The obvious prerequisite is Visual Studio Code.

How do you create a C/C++ project in VSCode (with CMake) and integrate it with VSCode.

What extensions you might want to install to ease up the code writing process, and how to configure them.

What tools you’ll need to start developing C and C++ apps in VSCode.

It might not be IntelliJ-level of quality, but hey - it’s free. So i made this guide to streamline the process and make it easy for somebody new in C, C++ or VSCode to setup a reasonably working dev environment with some useful quality-of-life tools. However, as C and C++ environment is pretty janky for today’s standards, so is the configuration.

Sorry if I was too long, any suggestions?ĮDIT: looking through the sample codes for the other files I noticed some differences in c_cpp_properties.Visual Studio Code is a great open-source editor with plenty of useful plugins for insane amount of languages and frameworks. The solution above leaves me with just this in the terminal: Executing task: C:\MingGW64\i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0\mingw32\bin\g++.exe -g -o helloworld helloworld.cpp The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1 without any output nor the helloworld file, the source code is right, plus it comes directly from the official website.

In the "tasks.json" the code has this "command": "g++" which is left like that in the site, running the sample source code with that produces this error: so I followed the solution suggested there and put "command": "C:\\MinGW64\\i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0\\mingw32\\bin\\g++.exe". I just followed the set up for C / C++ in VS code ( ), I found two strange things:
