How to set up VS Code on Mac for HISE development?

[dannytaurus]

I'm trying to set up VS Code on my Mac for HISE development.

I have the C/C++ IntelliSense, C/C++ Extension Pack, CMake, CMake Tools extensions installed but I'm still getting squiggly red errors because of (I think) includes and defines not being found.

I created a c_cpp_properties.json file in the .vscode folder with what seem to be the correct includes but I'm still getting the red underlines.

Anyone got an example setup for VS Code?

@dannytaurus why do you hate Xcode so much? Jokes aside, I also prefer VS Studio over Xcode but for macOS development with C++ it's basically the standard.

@Christoph-Hart I spend all my dev time in VS Code writing Ruby On Rails apps so I know it very well. I don't want to learn a new IDE just for tinkering with the HISE code.

I used VS Code successfully when adding some features to the Synthstrom Deluge community firmware. So I know it can deal with a complex C++ project quite easily. I'll check to see if there are any config files I can adapt.
