Build Scripts

Each platform has its build helper script in the directory build.

Linux: ./build/build_linux.sh
MacOS: ./build/build_macos.sh
Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File .\build\build_windows.ps1

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

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

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

Patch Update Process

Semi-Automated

run ./build/build_<os>.sh, if a patch is failing then,
run ./build/update_patches.sh
when the script pause at Press any key when the conflict have been resolved..., open vscode directory in VSCodium
fix all the *.rej files
run yarn watch
run ./script/code.sh until everything ok
press any key to continue the script update_patches.sh

Manual

run ./build/build_<os>.sh, if a patch is failing then,
open vscode directory in VSCodium
revert all changes
run git apply --reject ../patches/<name>.patch
fix all the *.rej files
run yarn watch
run ./script/code.sh until everything ok
run git diff > ../patches/<name>.patch
