Re: [deal.II] Re: Error building with cmake on vscode

[Luca Heltai]

Vscode does not call “spack load dealii “ by itself. If you want to be able to compile with vscode , you have two options: you instruct it where it can find dealii (setting variables in the cmake section of vscode settings) or adding the relevant variables to your shell initialization  files. If you open a new terminal and you are able to compile deal tutorials without calling any additional commands, then vscode will work.   Luca Il giorno 23 apr 2023, alle ore 11:35, Vinayak Vijay <vinayak....@gmail.com> ha scritto:  "Do you have the cmake extension installed in vscode?" - Yes The thing is that i have installed dealii using spack. So everything works smoothly if i just try to build from the terminal but not when i try to build using vscode cmake extension. I think VSCode (or vscode cmake extension) is not able to recognize the environment variable DEAL_II_DIR even when "spack load dealii" command is made from the vscode terminal.  Vinayak On Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 7:50:23 PM UTC+2 luca....@gmail.com wrote: Cmake does not know where to find a correct version of deal.ii.  Are you trying to compile an example from the GitHub repository with an earlier release of deal.ii? If that’s the case, try removing the version from the find statement in the CMakeLists.txt. Otherwise you will have to instruct vscode where your library is installed. You can initiate cmake from the command line in the build directory manually, specifying the env variable DEAL_II_DIR. When a cmake cache is present, vscode uses it, and you may be able to get through.  Luca Il giorno 22 apr 2023, alle ore 20:18, Abbas <abbas.b...@gmail.com> ha scritto: Do you have the cmake extension installed in vscode?  If not give it a try Abbas On Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 1:44:41 PM UTC+2 vinay...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am trying to build step-1 using cmake on vscode.

I am able to build using the terminal though. What changes do i need to make for building using vscode?
