CMake Debugger for Projects Targeting Remote Linux Systems

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Visual Studio’s CMake debugger attaches to remote Linux targets over WSL or SSH and requires CMake >= 3.27 plus GDB, rsync, zip, socat and a compiler on the remote. Add SSH connections via the Connection Manager or use WSL, enable “always use CMake presets” if needed, then choose Configure with CMake debugger to hit breakpoints inside CMakeLists.txt, inspect the locals window and watches, and fix issues like linking SDL vs SDL2 by changing the target or adding an alias.
