xmake-idea

A XMake integration in IntelliJ IDEA

A Xmake integration in IntelliJ IDEA/Clion.

It is deeply integrated with xmake and Intellij-IDEA to provide a convenient and fast cross-platform c/c++ development and building.

And It also support other Intellij-based platform, like Clion, Android Studio and etc.

You need install xmake first and a project with xmake.lua.

Please see xmake-github and website if you want to known more about xmake.

• Quickstart
• Create project
• Project configuration
• Run configuration

• Debug

You can configure Xmake path, build settings, and Intellisense options in Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Xmake.

Only support CLion (>= 2020.1)

1. The plugin generates compile_commands.json for project code completion and navigation.
2. You can configure the output path and auto-update behavior in Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Xmake.
3. To manually generate it, click Update compile commands in the main menu or context menu.
4. CLion should automatically detect compile_commands.json. If not, you can open it via File > Open....

Only support CLion (>= 2025.3)

XMake now supports native debugging via the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). This allows you to debug your XMake targets directly without generating CMakeLists.txt.

1. Install lldb-dap (recommended) or gdb-dap on your system.
2. Open the "Run Configuration" for your XMake target.
3. In the "Debug Configuration" section, you can:
   • Enable "Auto-detect DAP driver" to let the plugin find the driver automatically.
   • Or manually select/input the path to your DAP driver executable (e.g., /usr/bin/lldb-dap).
4. Click the Debug button to start debugging.

Support CLion (>= 2020.1)

1. Click "Update CmakeLists" to create or update "CmakeLists.txt" file.
2. Click "File > open..." to choose this file.
3. Choose "Run > Debug..." or "Run > Debug 'project name'" into debug mode.

Due to limited personal time, I cannot maintain this plug-in all the time. If you encounter problems, you are welcome to download the plug-in source code to debug it yourself and open pr to contribute.

Use IDEA Intellji open this project source code, and click Build button.

Open and edit Run configuration, and add a gradle run configuration, then write run arguments: runIde --stacktrace and save it.

Select this run configuration and click run button to load it.
