VSCodium build

cavaughankirov

So I would like to install VSCodium. I cloned the repository and followed the instructions, but it has an issue. Hoping someone might know how to resolve it. It looks like maybe I need g++ but not sure how to install that. eopkg search doesn't provide any info....

Here's where things go sideways:

BTW, I want to note that I know vscode is in the repository and I have installed it. Nonetheless, I would prefer to work with VSCodium.

vs solus repo vscode? difference? spoiler: about no difference. (discussion: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/4401-new-solus-user)

I don't know what features.h is...you read the read me and had all the dependencies first? I've never heard of this yarn build middleman before....edit: seems like introducing a middleman to a git build also introduces some variables. does yarn have an opinion. from stackoverlow:
"The features.h header file provides various macro definitions that indicate standard conformance to other header files, i.e. which features (hence the name) should be turned on or off depending on which standard the user wishes to use.

Most C/C++ compilers have command line options to handle standards conformance. Let's take GCC as an example: when you pass the -std=gnu9x option, you ask for the GNU dialect of the C99 standard. The features.h header makes sure that all other headers that include it will turn exactly those features on or off that are needed to support this particular dialect. This is achieved by #define -ing or #undef - ing some "intermediate" macros.

As a bonus, features.h also provides the glibc version information macros as well, and various other bits & bobs."

Have you installed the system.devel component?

Staudey Thanks! Installing system.devel got me past that issue. After installing a few more required components, it looks like the compile is progressing. BTW for brent, it installs yarn during the compilation.

cavaughankirov I'm new to cmake and building and have been compiling packages lately in a Debian knock-off (bunsenlabs---very small repo) to see if I was any good at it. I'm not, but a couple victories. Long story short, thanks for sharing about yarn---I've not seen that yet pulled into a build yet---its interesting in that regard.
