I'm trying to work on a Makefile based project with Visual Studio Code. I created a task and now I can run make and see the output including a little bit of coloring inside visual studio code. However, I am not able to click on a compile error and have it take me to the corresponding line of code. I think this has to be possible, and I can't imagine it's hard, so I must be missing something obvious.
I can reproduce it with a tiny example:
main.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("jo\n");
unsigned int u = -999;
int x;
if ( u < x )
printf("really small\n");
asdfasdfa
#error "nononono"
}
Makefile
all:
gcc -Werror -Wall -Wextra -o main main.c
tasks.json
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
