title: How to set include paths within Windows Subsystem for Linux in Visual Studio Code
body: <p>at the moment I am using a windows machine and wanted to try out windows subsystem for linux(wsl) for c++ development. Visual studio code(vsc) provides a neat extension for working on the subsystem that works quite well. One thing I could not get to work yet is getting vsc to include header files that are located inside the subsystem. </p>
  
  <p>I know that I can manually add new paths to include in ´c_cpp_properties.json´ but I do not know any of the paths to point from windows into the subsystems /usr/include(as an example). I found some resources (<a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/LanguageServer/Archive/Windows%20Subsystem%20for%20Linux.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wsl include paths</a>) but could not get it to work anyway. I also tried generating the paths myself as described in the gitlab issue but that did not help either.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone got some experience setting up vsc with wsl for c++ projects who would be able to help me?</p>
