如何在 vscode 中设置项目文件夹并链接所有 cpp 文件

Question

i'm new to cpp and just moved to classes, but now im stuck here wondering how do i link 2 or more cpp files to make a project(main.cpp - for main, abc.h - for defining class, abc.cpp- for defining methods outside the class). For now i use the command g++ main.cpp abc.cpp -o main to link all the files but as my project grows larger it will become more tedious to enter all the file names.Some guy here told if i create a project i should be able to compile as usual without compiling manually.So how do i do that in vscode?

Answer 1

You should look for the concept of makefile, and especially cmake which will help you for your compilation problem.

Answer 2

For bigger projects you can use makefile for compiling easily and faster. So in vs code I recommend you to use this extension. VS Code C/C++ Makefile Project

Firstly,

C/C++ Make: INIT Project

After,

C++ Project

In makefile you can customize your settings.

Also you can watch this tutorial video to understand easily this process in vs code Debugging Makefile Project with Visual Studio Code
