How do we compile the build files made by JUCE for Visual Studio Code?
- Brady Call
You can’t. The Projucer doesn’t export anything Visual Studio Code can use. If you want to use VS Code, you should switch over to using cmake instead of the Projucer.
Now how do you compile an application with Projucer anyways?
I always wanted to make a vscode exporter for Projucer…
If you are using Projucer and vscode you can make a ‘launch’ and ‘tasks’ setup to call make/xcodebuild/msbuild but using the cmake extension is much easier and better. And it’s quite worthwhile to learn Cmake.
Projucer doesn’t actually go as far as building your project. It generates the config for the building program, which you then have to run yourself.
Can give more info if you say a little more about your setup.
I generate VScode launch/task configs for all my plugins. But that was easy because there was already a master Python script for my plugins to add that to. I really abhor CMake, as a language.
