Setup intellisense for Butano project with VSCode C/C++ extension

1. Install C/C++ extension for VSCode
2. Copy the snippet below, and paste it as <yourProjectRoot>/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
3. Change the line "<yourPathToButano>/butano/include", to your location of Butano
   • For example, if you installed Butano to the C:/butano, it should be "C:/butano/butano/include",

Note

• This snippet assumes that you have installed devkitARM to the default location.
  If you installed it somewhere else, change the line "compilerPath": "..." to your location of devkitARM arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler.
• If you get intellisense errors about "__FILE_NAME__ macro not found", update Butano to 17.0.0 or later.
