Here's an alternate method to build BCI2000. It's still using Visual Studio's build tools behind the scenes just with a lighter IDE.

• Checkout source from SVN (known to work as of R5964)

• Open project folder in Visual Studio Code

• Install the following extensions: "CMake Tools", "CMake", and "C/C++"

• Create a .vscode folder with a settings.json folder and add the following:

  

• Open the command palette and select "CMake: Configure"

• Select a kit (Known to work for 2017/2019 x86_amd64):

  

• Edit generated CMakeCache.txt file to your liking:

  

• Select either Debug or Release (located at the bottom of the screen)

• Run "CMake: Configure" again.

• Run "CMake: Show CMake"

• Find the module you wish to build, right-click, and select "Build"

And in order to debug a module:

• Switch to "CMake: Debug" located at the bottom of the screen

• Start all other modules like normal.

• Find the module you want to debug, right click and select "Run with debugger"

  

• Add a breakpoint and when it is reached the VSCode/C++ debugger should open up:

  

Hi, I'm new in the world of BCI2000 and I'm trying to use a contribution to use openBCI, what should i do? should I build all BCI2000 source code or openBCI source code only? I'm trying to use Visual Studio but I got an error: No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found. I'm using VS2019 and windows 10 64bits. I would be really greatful If you could please guide me.

A full guide how to configure and compile BCI2000 is here:

If you have problems with CMake not identifying your C++ compiler, make sure the C++ compiler is actually selected in your visual studio installation options:
