You can use it to build projects on any programming language (here’s an example for JavaScript. You can get an implementation for almost any major operating system (POSIX/Windows/MacOS).Make is one of the most used tools to build software projects, for good reason: This is not a deep tutorial about make and Makefiles, but to get the most out of the extension you will need to have some concepts clear.

In this tutorial, you’ll set up a simple C++ project that depends on a well-known Python library to produce some sample charts. This extension provides a set of commands to the editor that will facilitate working with projects that rely on a Makefile to speed up the build. Microsoft announced recently a new Visual Studio Code extension to handle Makefiles. If you’re interested in a different approach to building and packaging software then check us out. This article is about using make and a Makefile in VS Code.

We make building software simpler and therefore faster using containerization.
