• JUCE >= 6.0.0 (supports CMake after v6.)
• CMake >= 3.15
• Visual Studio Code

Also, clangd a language server for C++ is highly recommended. In macOS, you can install with brew install llvm.

Ninja is also recommended for fast build (will be used automatically if present in this repository. You can change priority of generators in cmake.preferredGenerators in workspace setting).

• cpptools (basic language supports for C++ development)
• CMake (CMake language supports)
• CMake Tools (Advanced Integration for using CMake in VScode with GUI)
• CodeLLDB (better debugger than built-in gdb)
• clangd (Advanced intellisense support and formatter powered by llvm)

Install Xcode and type xcode-select --install in terminal. open ~/.zshrc and add export SDKROOT="$(xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path)" in the last line of the file.

Install Visual Studio.

Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/tomoyanonymous/juce_cmake_vscode_example --recursive

Open juce_cmake_vscode_example.code-workspace with Visual Studio Code. If recommended extensions are not fully installed, notification to install them will come up.

If CMake Tools is correctly installed, you will be asked which CMake Kits(compiler) you want to use.

In macOS, choose Clang x.x.x which point to /usr/bin/clang++ (clang provided by xcode. of course you can choose other compilers if you have).

In Windows, choose Visual Studio Community 2019 Release - amd64, you will have choices of architectures(like amd64/x86-amd64).

Open CMake Menu on your left sidebar (it will show up if CMake Tools is installed).

Click "Build All Projects".

If successfully built, right click JUCE_CMAKE_EXAMPLE/src/ExamplePlugin_Standalone and select "set as Debug/Launch Target".

Open Debug Menu in left Sidebar. And click Run button on the left in a menu of CMake Debug(workspace). Standalone version of your plugin will be launched.

(Note that you can also debug from "Debug" button in right-click menu of CMake Tools but you cannot use CodeLLDB debugger in this case.)

The version of JUCE is v7.0.3 by default currently. Juce is located as a git submodule in lib directory, so you can switch the version by checking out in the directory like this.

cd lib/JUCE
git tag # show the tagged releases.
git checkout 7.0.2
# If you need, you can commit the change of JUCE version in the main directory.
cd ..
git commit -m "Changed the version of JUCE."
