I can't get open62541 to work in visual studio code, c++, windows

[Jesus Zanelli]

Hello, so what am I doing wrong?

1. I install: visual studio 2019, visual studio code 1.96.4, CMake (cmake-gui), Python 3.13 (64-bit), msys2-x86_64.exe (I download MinGW-w64); I update environment variables
2. I download the open62541-1.4.9.zip file from the web, with cmake (using amalgamation and the default compiler) I generate a .sln project, in visual studio I compile and generate an open62541.c and open62541.h; or I download directly the open62541.c and open62541.h files
3. I open visual studio code, create an empty c++ project, create a server.cpp file and copy the code "Building a Simple Server"; inside the folder I copy open62541.c and open62541.h
4. In my project I configure Intellisense Configurations: Compiler arguments > C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/g++.exe; Intellisense mode > gcc-x64 (legacy)
5. In the server.cpp file I use run, choose "C/C++: g++.exe build and debug active file preLaunchTask: C/C++: g++.exe build active file"; unfortunately I get these errors:

-#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (C:\Users\jesus\Documents\OPC-UA\ejemplo2\server.cpp)
-cannot open source file \"open62541/server.h
-open62541/server.h: No such file or directory

I understand that if successful, a server.exe file should be generated. I want to create a project in Visual Studio Code as "normal as possible", that is, use a library through #include that allows me to use functions and classes. Thank you very much.

Hey there,

when you use the "single file release", then you only have the open62541.h.

You then only need that one.

You only get open62541/server.h when you use the "normal sources" instead.

Regards,
