Insider

The insider version can be built with ./build/build.sh -i on the insider branch.

You can try the lastest version with the command ./build/build.sh -il but the patches might not be up to date.

Build in Docker

To build for Linux, you can alternatively build VSCodium in docker

X64

Firstly, create the container with:

docker run -ti --volume=<local vscodium source>:/root/vscodium --name=vscodium-build-agent vscodium/vscodium-linux-build-agent:bionic-x64 bash

like

docker run -ti --volume=$(pwd):/root/vscodium --name=vscodium-build-agent vscodium/vscodium-linux-build-agent:bionic-x64 bash

When inside the container, you can use the following commands to build:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs desktop-file-utils

npm install -g yarn

cd /root/vscodium

. get_repo.sh

export SHOULD_BUILD=yes
export OS_NAME=linux
export VSCODE_ARCH=x64

. build.sh

ARM 32bits

Firstly, create the container with:

docker run -ti --volume=<local vscodium source>:/root/vscodium --name=vscodium-build-agent vscodium/vscodium-linux-build-agent:stretch-armhf bash

like

docker run -ti --volume=$(pwd):/root/vscodium --name=vscodium-build-agent vscodium/vscodium-linux-build-agent:stretch-armhf bash

When inside the container, you can use the following commands to build:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs desktop-file-utils

cd /root/vscodium

. get_repo.sh

export SHOULD_BUILD=yes
export OS_NAME=linux
export VSCODE_ARCH=armhf
export npm_config_arch=armv7l
export npm_config_force_process_config="true"

. build.sh
