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

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.

@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 Release/MinSizeRel/RelWithDebInfo. But I like your video otherwise, good effort :)

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 Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin" It might Enterprise/ instead of Community/ directory or something entirely different for other people.

Also, you say to make the CMakeLists.txt, then you say to use the quick start (which I did not have the same options as you), and then you say if that does not work, then do things manually... What if it DID work? Do I still need the txt file??? Why are there no good tutorials for C++ and vscode?

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

@@CodeTechandTutorials i believe everything in the bottom bar comes with cmake extension because you are also able to change compiler, part building etc from down there.

I wish I could get to the point of just #include working without red squiggles. On my 5th install of VS Code and following various guides installing cmake and compilers, VS Code Build Tools etc etc and it's always the same result, you can't write any code because VS Code never knows where anything is? Why is it so complex to just install and start coding in C++ I don't get it.

It just needs to know where your headers are.

@@CodeTechandTutorials I just find where the whole .h, .hh, .lib, .dll side to C++ really confusing. Any library I want to use always seems to take me hours and hours to get working and often it seems it's worked purely by luck half the time. Hopefully it gets easier, it's the main barrier for me, the coding is easy by comparison haha!

I understand that - the problem with these ide's is they don't follow logic (as compared to coding), they just happen to be however the devs made them. I agree it is kind of annoying.
