![]() To learn more about these, please see this blog post for problem matching and compilation database generation and this blog post for variable expansion. Since releasing this extension, we have developed other features to make your life when working with Makefiles easier. buildLog (alternative to dry-run)Makefile Tools settings.makefilePath (path to project’s Makefile).makePath (path to your make executable).launchConfigurations (debugger settings for specific launch targets).defaultLaunchConfiguration (global debugger settings).configurations (tells the extension which arguments to pass to make when configuring your project).The settings you’ll probably use the most are: To find all Makefile Tools settings, go to File > Preferences > Settings and then select makefile under Extensions. For your convenience, there are commands for building clean and building ALL that you can run without changing the Build target. You can find all the Makefile Tools commands by opening the Command Palette and typing “makefile”. To run the program without debugging, select the Run in Terminal button. Once the Launch target is set, select the Debug icon to start a debugging session. ![]() You can also set MIMode, miDebuggerPath, and stopAtEntry in makefile.launchConfigurations. If you need to pass additional arguments to your targets, add the binaryArgs property to the target’s configuration in makefile.launchConfigurations. A configuration for the selected target will be added to the makefile.launchConfigurations setting. To run/debug your program, use the pencil icon to select a Launch target. Then choose from the list of targets found in your project’s Makefile.Īfter setting the Build target, click the Build icon. ![]() Choose a Build target by selecting the pencil icon that appears on hover. Building targetsĪfter configuring your project, you’re ready to build. If you didn’t define any configurations in nfigurations, the extension will automatically select a default one. Hover over Configuration and select the pencil icon to choose a configuration for your project. To choose the configuration for a project, select the Makefile Tools icon in the left explorer menu. For example, to create a configuration for littlekernel, where you need to pass “PROJECT=armemu-test” to make, your settings.json would look something like this: "nfigurations": [ To help you out, we’ve documented the correct configurations for over 70 popular open-source repositories. nfigurations is an array of configuration objects, each with a name and makeArgs property that holds the arguments to pass to make. If you regularly pass additional arguments to make, use the Makefile Tools’ Configurations setting ( nfigurations in settings.json) to specify those arguments. Now you’re ready to configure your project! If you normally run make from the command line without passing it any additional arguments, you shouldn’t need to do anything else at this point. If you don’t see that notification, or you accidentally dismissed it, you can grant Makefile Tools permission to configure IntelliSense by running “ C/C++: Change Configuration Provider” from the Command Palette and selecting Makefile Tools. Once your make path is properly set, accept the prompt to allow Makefile Tools to configure IntelliSense. You can also specify the make Path by selecting the pencil icon to the right of the Make button in the extension’s side panel. The Make Path setting tells the extension where to find your make executable. ![]() If your make.exe is not in your $PATH, update the Make Path setting by going to File > Preferences > Settings and then selecting makefile under Extensions. Configuring your projectīy default, the extension will attempt to use a make program that resides within your $PATH to configure the project. Update Makefile Path by going to File > Preferences > Settings and then selecting makefile under Extensions.Īfter updating Makefile Path, type “makefile” into the Command Palette and run a Makefile Tools command to re-activate the extension. If your project’s Makefile is not in the root folder, you can use the Makefile Path setting to instruct the extension where to find it. Once the extension is installed, it will activate when it finds a Makefile in your project’s root folder. Give it a try and let us know what you think! Installing the extensionįirst, install the Makefile Tools extension from the VS Code Marketplace. We are excited to announce a brand-new extension for building and debugging Makefile projects in Visual Studio Code: Makefile Tools (preview)! The extension is in pilot stages, but we’ve curated a list of over 70 popular opensource Makefile projects that work with Makefile Tools. This blog post has been updated with the latest Makefile Tools experience as of July 18th, 2023
