Thank you for this. In just 10 minutes I was able to get to the meat of writing and running C++ in VSCode.

with that sound in the back and your voice i feel like getting enlightened thank you for the great video

I think @8:02 you can specify the different build scripts in a task. Json file and hit shift + Ctrl +B to pick which script you want . That way you don't have to write the build script over and over.

Let's
Thank you so much for making this.

great video !!

@8:02 "Can you turn this into a button" - there is a button already there, in your VScode version too.
Bottom blue task bar - somewhere in the middle - there is a cog and "Build" button :P When you click it it builds whatever config you selected - which is specified on another button to the left - here "CMake: [Debug]: Ready" - when you click on it you can change between

But I like your video otherwise, good effort :)

That was very helpful, thanks for explaining the launch.json file. By the way, I like your vibe

[williamsokol]

So the MSBuild.exe was not recognized in my terminal what am I supposed to do from there, where did the command come from?

EDIT:
ok so I just had to add that the user's PATH environment variable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual

It might Enterprise/ instead of Community/ directory or something entirely different for other people.

after doind ctrl+ shit +p -> Cmake : quickstart, i can not see any option with VS Community 2019 release... options. what can be wrong here in VScode? (i have already install CMAKE, C/C++ extension in VS code)

[winuxworx]

this method is tightly coupled to windows platform. There should be another way that doesn't use MS Visual Studio.

[punchline]

I don't see the .sln project file, what do I do?

[freakfreak]

3:12 what did you do here? why do you suddenly habe a "build" folder? where did that come from?

[Dev_Everything]

Can you do one on how to get this working in linux?

[smittywerbenjj]

what about all those buttons in the blue bar at the bottom of the screen

[dominikz]

why cant we compile the Cmake List from Visual Studio Code?

[joshuamcdonald]

My build folder did not get created after running the >cmake: quickstart in the command pallette. Anyone know why?

[jeremycoleman]

Is there a way to run a watcher and rebuild automatically, ideally with the new vs 2022 hot reloading?
