Installation

With the VSCode extension market. Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter:

ext install makefiles-support-for-vscode

(or look for “Makefile” in the extension list, mine is the first one.)

More details can be found on the marketplace website, or on GitHub.

And the installation can also be done manually:

cd ~/.vscode/extensions  # or elsewhere, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/yocode#_your-extensions-folder
git clone https://github.com/Naereen/Makefiles-support-for-VSCode/
mv Makefiles-support-for-VSCode makefiles-support-for-vscode-0.0.1
# restart Visual Studio Code to enable the extension

First version, directly imported from TextMate language file from a SublimeText3 extension (Makefile-plus). I used yo code.

Embed checkmake as a linting tool.
Write a magical generic .vscode/launch.json file that adds any Makefile rule as a possible launch task (like this extension for ST3).
