Trying to Set Up JUCE in VS Code

Hi there. I’m new to JUCE & trying to get started, but on my older Mac I can’t download Visual Studio or XCode. I’m trying to figure out how to set up an application using VS Code, though I know it’s technically unsupported, & having trouble. I saw this thread which was helpful, though a little advanced from where I’m sitting. Can anyone walk me through a VS Code setup that worked for them, possibly using one of the provided examples? I would super appreciate it.

Thanks!

If you’re not married to VSCode, CLion on MacOS gives a far better experience, and has great CMake integration, to boot… Definitely worth seeing if you can use it instead of VSCode, which takes a bit too much of Microsofts “embrace, extend …” tack, if you ask me …

Another option would be to download an older version of Xcode from the Apple developer portal.

This is interesting, I’ll try that, thanks!

I thought about this, but trying to avoid paying the $99 membership fee. Might have to though.

You don’t need to pay the membership fee, you just need an Apple account:

Get command line tools, older versions of Xcode and beta version of other software. To view downloads, simply sign in with your Apple ID. Apple Developer Program membership isn’t required.

Oh wow, I’m not sure how I missed that… Just downloaded, thank you!!
