Compiling and Debugging 4diac FORTE With MS Visual Studio Code
The following describes how to compile 4diac FORTE with win32-architecture using Visual Studio Code. In the installation tutorial (back) you find more details on building your own 4diac FORTE. Additionally, visual studio code is described there.
Building a MS Visual Studio Code Project for 4diac FORTE with CMake
In the installation tutorial, the steps on building a project with CMake are described in detail. To use Visual Studio Code with CMake, you need to specify the options (All the options are shown in CMake-GUI when you choose source folder FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT, refer to Build a project with CMake.) for CMake in settings.json for the project in Visual Studio Code. The correct architecture is Win32. Below is an example of settings.json for forte with OPC DA compiled.
Compile and debug 4diac FORTE with Visual Studio Code
-
Install compiler. For example, msbuild tools if you want to compile OPC DA, install the components according to ms buildtools. Or if you prefer mingw-w64, follow mingw-w64.
-
Install "CMake tools" plugin in visual studio code.
-
Open command palette(ctrl + shift + p), compile or debug in below command:
cmake:select a kit; //choose MINGW64, msbuildtools or gcc cmake:select variant; //debug or release cmake:configure; cmake:build //compile cmake:debug
-
When you choose debug or release, do make the cmake option
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPEin settings.json align with thecmake:select variant.
