Microsoft Visual Studio template projects for Linux debugging

These templates allow debugging Linux Garry's Mod modules from Visual Studio remotely. There are 2 pairs of files:

• debugging_linux.vcxproj and debugging_linux.vcxproj.user for the main branch
• debugging_linux_x86_64.vcxproj and debugging_linux_x86_64.vcxproj.user for the x86-64 branch

One of these pairs (depending on the target branch of your module) should be copied to the directory with the premake5 generated project files for Visual Studio, both files renamed to gmsv_[MODULE_NAME]_linux (leaving their extensions intact) and manually added to your solution.

Customisation

There are somethings you can (and should) change, in the .vcxproj file:

• <RemoteCompileToolExeSuffix>-9</RemoteCompileToolExeSuffix>: Represents the version suffix of the gcc command. Can be empty to use the system's default gcc.
• <RemoteSRCDSDir>~/garrysmod/server</RemoteSRCDSDir>: Represents the location of your SRCDS install to use.

The following can be changed optionally (depending on how the module is built, for example):

• <FilesToCopy Include="../../../source/**/*;../../../license.txt;../../../premake5.lua;../../../readme.md" />: Represents the files to copy from your local system to the remote system. For example, you can an includes directory at the root of the module directory by appending ;../../../includes/**/* to this configuration.
