Currently, the `CMakeSettings.json` provides configurations for the following CMake generators: - Ninja (default) - Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 - `Unix Makefiles` targeting Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - requires Visual Studio 2019 IDE. Usage: 1. Copy [CMakeSettings.json](CMakeSettings.json) to `${BOOST_ROOT}/libs/gil`. 2. In Visual Studio > File > Open > Folder... and select `${BOOST_ROOT}/libs/gil`. 3. Follow the [CMake support in Visual Studio](https://go.microsoft.com//fwlink//?linkid=834763) documentation. 4. [CMakeSettings.json schema reference](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmakesettings-reference?view=vs-2017) to learn more about the configuration file itself. Optionally, edit [CMakeSettings.json](CMakeSettings.json) and tweak any options you require. ## Visual Studio Code Example of [cmake-variants.yaml](cmake-variants.yaml) file is provided for the [CMake Tools](https://github.com/vector-of-bool/vscode-cmake-tools) extension. Usage: 1. Copy [cmake-variants.yaml](cmake-variants.yaml) to `${BOOST_ROOT}/libs/gil`. 2. Run `code ${BOOST_ROOT}/libs/gil` and the set of variants will be loaded. 3. Follow the [CMake Tools documentation](https://vector-of-bool.github.io/docs/vscode-cmake-tools/index.html).
