For example, “how to install make on Manjaro” on Google may tell you to run sudo pacman -S make. However, I recommend googling “how to install X” for your Linux distribution, so you can get the right terminal command for the installation. You can similarly install the other tools in that way. For example, if you’re on Ubuntu, running sudo apt-get install gcc will install the compiler.
Interestingly, each Linux distribution has a different way of installing packages. Make: build system to be used by CMake.GDB debugger: the equivalent debugger for your compiler.GCC/G++ compiler: the C++ compilation tools.If you haven’t already got them, install the tools shown in the list below so you can develop C++ applications on WSL. Similarly, you will also need to install a few tools in your Linux distribution on WSL. Interestingly, this extension pack contains all of the “nice to have” extensions for C++ development, such as CMake syntax highlighting, C++ syntax colour schemes, etc.įinally, if you haven’t installed extensions in VSCode before, simply click on the extension UI button, search for the extensions we mentioned, and install them! Tools Needed For Your WSL Installation C/C++ Extension Pack: Includes some of the extensions mentioned in this section, and a few more.
VISUAL STUDIO CMAKE CODE
C/C++: Enables C++ language support for Visual Studio Code (syntax highlighting, etc).CMake Tools: This Microsoft extension enables the support for CMake projects in VS Code, it will allow you to configure and build your CMake projects.Once installed, you can navigate to the directory you want in your WSL terminal, and simply type code. Remote WSL: This extension allows you to open workspaces from your WSL installation.For this reason, the list below contains the names of all extensions you need to install, and the reason for each one.
Initially, if you haven’t used VSCode for C++ projects on WSL, you will need to install a few extensions, so everything runs smoothly. Video: Debugging C/C++ CMake projects on WSL with VSCode.Īdditionally, the project used in the video, as well as the final contents of the launch.json file are shown in the sections below.
