You can add a CMakePresets.json file to the root of the project or enable the integration globally in Tools > Options > CMake > General. In this tutorial I’m going to create a new CMake project with the CMake Project template.Ĥ) Enable Visual Studio’s CMake Presets integration. You can either clone a CMake repository (like bullet3), open a local CMake project, or create a new CMake project with the CMake Project template. Visual Studio defines a CMake project as a folder with a CMakeLists.txt file at the project root. I will install a recent version of CMake using Visual Studio’s CMake binary deployment in step 9.ģ) Open a CMake project in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0 Preview 2 or later. In this tutorial I’ll use GCC and Ninja on Ubuntu. Sudo apt install g++ gdb make ninja-build rsync zip You can install these dependencies on distros that use apt with the following commands: You will need a C++ compiler, gdb, CMake, an underlying build system generator, rsync, and zip. Follow the instructions below to build and debug a CMake project on a WSL 2 distro.ġ) Install WSL and a WSL 2 distro with the Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10.Ģ) Install the required build tools on your WSL 2 distro. You can learn more about CMake Presets in our announcement blog post and documentation. The WSL 2 toolset is supported by our CMake Presets integration in Visual Studio. Cross-platform CMake development with a WSL 2 distro
See Comparing WSL 1 and WSL 2 to learn more about the differences between WSL 1 and WSL 2.Ĭontinue reading for a step-by-step guide on getting started with CMake and WSL 2 and an overview of our MSBuild-based WSL 2 support. This local rsync copy will occur automatically when Visual Studio detects that you are using a WSL 2 distro and will require no user intervention. When targeting a WSL 2 distro, Visual Studio will execute a local rsync copy to copy files from the Windows file system to the WSL file system. Our C++ cross-platform support in Visual Studio assumes that all source files originate in the Windows file system. However, CMake is our recommendation for all C++ cross-platform development with Visual Studio because it allows you to build and debug the same project on Windows, WSL, and remote systems.
Visual Studio’s WSL 2 toolset supports both CMake and MSBuild-based Linux projects.
