In this post we’ll discuss how to work with WSL in CLion and how Windows users can benefit from this support. Why do I need it? CLion is a cross-platform IDE, that means you can run it on Windows, Linux, and macOS. From the very beginning it works with GCC and Clang compilers, which means on Windows it requires Cygwin or MinGW (or MinGW-w64). Later we introduced Microsoft Visual C++ compiler support, for those users who have it installed and want to use inside CLion on Windows. Besides, we know that there are C++ developers who have Windows desktops but require Linux toolchain for buildin

Download CLion 2017.3 EAP MSVC extensions With an experimental support for Microsoft Visual C++ compiler in CLion, we've received complaints about incorrect code highlighting and false errors in code analysis in case MSVC extensions are used. That's why we've started the work in this direction an

Hi, CLion 2017.3 EAP has recently started with many great things on board: dozens of language engine improvements, invert if refactoring, bundled GDB 8.0, gutter icons to run/debug unit tests, new toolchains configuration. This new build (173.2290.13) comes with an ability to configure toolchains on CLion's Welcome screen, which appears when you start the IDE for the first time and don't have any settings to import from the previous version: You can configure toolchains with various CMake versions, debuggers, MinGW, Cygwin or Microsoft Visual C++ environment (in case of Windows)
