CMakeSettings.json workflow #38

Closed orion160 closed 3 years ago

orion160 commented 3 years ago

How it is supposed to write a CMakeSettings.json to make the configurations of the build. My actual build is working, but it is because run-cmake is choosing a default config to use in linux.

Linux build for Visual Studio requires a remote machine, so what information run-cmake recollects from that cmake settings schema for Visual Studio?

@orion160 CMakeSettings.json content is used to create command line argument to run the CMake configuration and generation and to run the build. For remote configuration stored in CMakeSettings.json, the remoteMachineName or the copy with rsync related values are always disregarded, and the build executes always locally. You may find lot of examples in the samples.
