# [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VSCode suppport for C/C++ and CMake is provided by
|
||
|
|
the [Microsoft C/C++ extension pack](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools-extension-pack).
|
||
|
|
You can install it from the VSCode extensions tab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you use a unofficial VSCode distribution like [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com), you will need to install the
|
||
|
|
extension pack manually by downloading the VSIX files and going to `Extensions > ... > Install from VSIX`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMake support for VSCode uses CMake presets provided by the project by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you open the Minetest folder with VSCode, you should get a quick pick asking you for the default preset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use the bottom bar to change the CMake profile, change the build target, build, run and debug (running/debugging doesn't build first).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like most of the VSCode experience, it may be faster to use commands directly (most of the VSCode UI just trigger commands).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Command Name | Usecase |
|
||
|
|
|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Select Configure Preset` | Change the current CMake profile |
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Set Build Target` | Change the current build target |
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Build` | Build current target |
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Clean` | Clean build files |
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Run Without Debugging` | Run selected run target |
|
||
|
|
| `CMake: Debug` | Debug selected run target |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Under Windows, the recommended compiler is the [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com) compiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From the Visual Studio installer, you need to install the `Desktop development with C++` Workload.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io) is the recommended way of installing Minetest dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Follow the official documentation to install it and install Minetest dependencies as explained in [Windows compilation process](../compiling/windows.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to let CMake know about the `vcpkg` installation in VSCode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify your `.vscode/settings.json`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"cmake.configureSettings": {
|
||
|
|
"CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "C:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
