Using with VSCode

Visual Studio Code is free (as in "free beer", and they claim the code is Open Source) code editor for Windows, Linux and Mac. While not as sophisticated in C/C++ support as full featured Visual Studio, it already has some official support with C/C++ extension from Microsoft.

Easy way

• install VS Code extensions (C/C++, RunOnSave, C++ Intellisense) and external tools (GNU Global)
• clone project skeleton using https://github.com/zgoda/sming-skel.git as source
• remove unwanted bits
• update paths configuration in ${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json - should already work out of the box with Linux
