Compiling ScummVM
Visual Studio Code is an integrated developer environment that can use your existing compilation toolchains. We recommend first compiling ScummVM with a configure/Make based build system as detailed from Compiling ScummVM.
Integrating with a configure/Make based build system
Install the C/C++ extension. The Makefile Tools extension is not required and may fail compilation if it does not use a properly-configured build terminal.
Add a custom build tasks to .vscode/task.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "Make: build",
"type": "shell",
"command": "make",
"args": [ "-j8" ],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
]
},
{
"label": "Make: clean",
"type": "shell",
"command": "make",
"args": [ "clean" ],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": false
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
]
},
{
"label": "Make: test",
"type": "shell",
"command": "make",
"args": [ "test" ],
"group": {
"kind": "test",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
]
},
]
}
Integrating with MSYS2
Examples in this section assume the MSYS path and UCRT environment and may need alteration to match your chosen installation.
Add these options to .vscode/task.json to run build tasks with a properly-configured shell:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "cmd.exe",
"args": [
"/c",
"C:\\msys64\\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -ucrt64 -c '$@' --"
]
}
}
}
Add these lines to your settings.json to enable MSYS2 UCRT profile when launching a terminal:
{
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
"MSYS2 UCRT": {
"path": "cmd.exe",
"args": [
"/c",
"C:\\msys64\\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -ucrt64"
]
}
}
}
