# Using Visual studio code to compile and install project
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before compilation you have to install tools and dependencies (points 1,2,3): [Installing tools and dependencies](https://github.com/colobot/colobot/wiki/How-to-Build-Colobot%3A-Gold-Edition-Using-MSVC#installing-tools-and-dependencies).
|
|
|
|
### Cloning project
|
|
|
|
In order to clone the project execute the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/colobot/colobot.git
|
|
```
|
|
In order to clone the `data` submodule you also have to execute: **(this module is needed to launch the game)**
|
|
```
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
```
|
|
If you want you can combine this commands and execute:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/colobot/colobot.git --recurse-submodules
|
|
```
|
|
### Configuring vscode
|
|
|
|
1. Open project folder in vscode.
|
|
2. Install extension [CMake Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools).
|
|
3. Install extension [C/C++](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools).
|
|
4. On the status line at the bottom you can choose cmake configuration and compiler (for reference see the image at the bottom).
|
|
|
|
### Adding cmake settings:
|
|
|
|
Create folder .vscode if there is none. Inside that folder create a file settings.json with the following content:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"cmake.configureSettings": {
|
|
"name": "x64-Debug",
|
|
"generator": "Ninja",
|
|
"configurationType": "Debug",
|
|
"inheritEnvironments": ["msvc_x64_x64"],
|
|
"CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "input your path to the toolchain file",
|
|
"VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET": "x64-windows-static",
|
|
"GLEW_STATIC": "1",
|
|
"MSVC_STATIC": "1"
|
|
},
|
|
"cmake.buildDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}\\out\\build\\x64-Debug",
|
|
"cmake.installPrefix": "${workspaceFolder}\\out\\build\\x64-Debug",
|
|
"cmake.generator": "ninja"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compilation and installation
|
|
|
|
1. Open cmake extension in the left menu and click on `build all projects`
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. On the status line at the bottom change the compilation target to `install`.
|
|
3. Click `build` to build the project.
|
|
4. After the project is built, click on `launch` to run a game.
