I am pretty new to programm in C++ so please don't judge my problems with setting up my "Visual Studio Code" environment. I am trying to use the blaze math packages to solve quadratic programming problems. With the MinGW GCC I can compile the testfiles of blaze successfully via cmd and thus I want to use the GCC for VS Code.
OS: Windows 10.0.19041
GCC: gcc (x86_64-posix-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 7.3.0 || (cmd: gcc --version)
VS Code Extensions: C/C++ 0.27.1
Firstly I went through the VS Code tutorial for MinGW: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw
This worked fine so I can easily compile my helloworld.cpp. The resulting tasks.json file looks like this tasks.json.
As my package manager (for blaze or other packages) i use the vspkg-git: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/vcpkg?view=msvc-160 Thus I am programming on Windows I can't use the "integrate" command to add the path to the includepath. So I have to do this manually.
My packages are in the folder with the absolute path
C:\Users\Johannes\Desktop\Masterthesis\vcpkg\vcpkg\packages
So I added the path on the "c_cpp_propertier.json"-file
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "GCC",
"defines": [
"_DEBUG",
"UNICODE",
"_UNICODE"
],
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++17",
"intelliSenseMode": "gcc-x64",
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}",
"C:/Users/Johannes/Desktop/Masterthesis/vcpkg/vcpkg/packages/**"
],
"compilerPath": "C:/Program Files/mingw-w64/x86_64-7.3.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0/mingw64/bin/g++.exe",
"browse": {
"path": []
}
}
],
"version": 4
}
In the folder are several packages therefor I added the "/**" at the end of the path to enable the recursive search for header files.
My 'helloworld.cpp' file looks like this
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
//#include <blaze/Math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
vector<string> msg {"Hello", "C++", "World", "from", "VS Code", "and the
C++ extension!"};
for (const string& word : msg)
{
cout << word << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
My problem is that when I try to include a header-file from this path for example Math.h Visual Studio throws an Error
blaze/Math.h: No such file or directory
But when I right-click on the include and click "Go to Definition" VS Code opens the file. Optionbar and the opened file.
The Log-Diagnostics gives that information.
I guess someone that has experience with MinGW and additional packages in VS Code will solve that problem very simple, but I have read nearly every thread about those problems and didn't find anything matching mine.
