Visual Studio Code is able to use my cross-compiler to compile my Linux code on Windows, but Visual Studio 2022 doesn't have this option. I have to connect to a Virtual Machine to compile.

Is is possible to use my cross-compiler I already have installed on my Windows machine?

    Hi @Ed Llewellyn

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    You can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It lets you run a Linux environment directly on Windows without adding a remote connection. 

    For more details, please refer to: Walkthrough: Build and debug C++ with WSL 2 and Visual Studio 2022

    Sincerely,

    Anna
