I want to set up a task in VS Code to configure the project with CMake.

Sadly I cannot find out how to pass args like
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=gcc to CMake within a task.

The IDE reports that “args” is not supported.

Current snippet:

"tasks": [
    {
        "type": "cmake",
        "label": "CMake: configure",
        "command": "configure",
        "problemMatcher": [],
        "detail": "CMake template configure task"
    },
],
