Compiling multiple C++ files in Visual Studio Code (Ubuntu 22.04)

[davidnewman]

You have no idea how long I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out! Thank You!

[Mario-xcdz]

Thank you from all my heart, i've been stuck in this for a day and half until i found your video and fixed my problem

Just started using VS Code, and your tutorial has been exceptionally helpful.

[ismaelfernandezmendez]

I sure love you. I may have been 10 hours trying to compile my damn code, but in the end you saved me. It was a damn torture but it is compiled!

Hey man, can you make a tutorial explaining about the c_cpp_properties.json, launch.json, task.json and its components . That would be helpful.

[vrajsavani]

after seeing 40 videos and 30 articles finally found your video helpful thanks a lot

This was so useful, it need to be the top result when you search for how to compile c++.

[ryanantony]

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to get more experience with C++.

[peterwake]

Thanks for this, very useful. Just to add that once I got this working using your tips, I adapted this to have "-g", "${file}", "${workspaceFolder}/classes/*.cpp", and by doing this I could have several "test scripts" all using the included classes I'd made.

I did the same but I’m using clang/clang++ (so I edited this under the clang/clang++ section) and it still doesn’t work for me. It gives me a linker error and still says that the functions I’ve called are undefined

[Bamber]

Great tip, thank you! Is there a way to add a "Build" icon on the status bar?

Thank you very much! This video is really helpful!!!!

[AlexRoman-dvuo]

Hallelujah !!!! Finally someone got it straight to the point.

In my windows vs code with mingw, it didn't work initially .
Finally it worked, nice tutorial
👍

Can you explain what to do when you have multiple folders. For example folder 1 = cordic_fucntion, folder 2 = taylor series. I want ot be able to run the two programs seperately by pressing play when on the specific file (tb_taylor, tb_cordic)

[Rodrigoooo]

Great it worked finally! Thanks! Do you know how to get the same result with the Code Runner extension?

[hugogarcia]

I have a problem, why when I try to use another file it gives me an output error -1?

[VantomChannel]

Thank you so much for saving my time <3 Just one question, can I edit the default 'tasks.json' so whenever it's created I don't have to modify it again?

[JK-ddvn]

Thank you so much mate, I spent literally DAYS trying to find solution to this...
Also, may I ask how can I modify the "${workspaceFolder}/*.cpp" so it would compile all the .cpp files in the subdirectories too? I have those files included in path from c_cpp_properties.json I suppose, but they don't get compiled.

I have no suggestions within the json file
