Developing on Windows with VSCode

If you want linting and error detection, you can use VSCode remote debugging. To compile in the command line, see here.

VSCode supports remote debugging with WSL. First, install WSL.

1. Install the Remote - WSL extension.
2. Click the bottom left and select "Reopen folder in WSL".

Note: This can also be done with a real linux machine, such as a Raspberry Pi over SSH

3. Install CMake Tools Extension

To setup CMake kits for different environement configurations, see this document.

Note: Remote WSL is like a new VSCode environment. You will have to reinstall most extensions.
