Support for multi root workspaces

[fj-sanchez]

It would be great if this extension could support multi root workspaces.

Absolutely :). I was about to open a GitHub report exactly with this. We'll keep this one.

We are wrapping up our next release which will not include this support and I'm not sure exactly when we will be able to address the work item, but until then, even if it's not the same, you could try wrapping all the entry point makefiles of all your different workspaces into a top level makefile, like this:

all:
$(MAKE) -C ./folder1/project1/
$(MAKE) -C ./folder2/project2/
...

If you try this let us know how it works.

Is there any progress? Without support of multi root workspaces is this extensions almost unusable for remote repositories with multiple remote folders where each remote folder represents project with own makefile.

@janicalubos, we were not able to get to this yet. Is the workaround I gave in issue 180 unblocking you?
#180 (comment)

Using this workaround means always run make for all projects. You cannot clean just one project, you must clean all projects. There is also risk of conflict with automatically detected symbols an parameter for compiler. Therefore I decided to open each project in separate instance of VScode.
