Newbie -- What is the best IDE to use

Hello. The most comfortable - Visual Studio.

But the project creating is can be done for VSCode, Qt Cretor or VS by CMake. QT Creator can import the CMake project with no issues.

VS 2022 have the most comfortable start, based on possibility to start DRAWEXE by F5 and debug the code.

The CMake guide: Open CASCADE Technology: Build OCCT

As for me -  I'm working with VS Code (on Linux and Windows), but for that need to create launch.json to start the debugging or attach to the process, but building do not a problem.

One of the sample for VS Code build is: OCCT3D Open Source MSYS Build Tutorial

Best regards, Commenter-1.

Thanks a lot for that information. It made it a bit more clear.
The way I understand it is like this:
1) You setup the project using CMake.
2) The project is build for VS2022.
3) I add my code to the project.
4) I build my stuff.

I will try it for QT Creator and VS2022

Hey Dmitrii, would you mind sharing your launch.json for debugging? I may have found an bug on OCCT and want to get deep into it. I was able to compile and run DRAWEXE on VSCode but unsure how to use it interatively

Yes, for sure. What is your OS? If windows, then MinGW or VS compiler?

Here a file with launches for windows.

I'm on latest OS X, using clang.

EDIT: Thank you for the windows one, I can figure out my way using it!

MacOS works with lldb. I didn't prepare a pretty printers for it or any arguments.

I have the script for Ubuntu, which you can use as a basic start.
