This is not a deep tutorial about make and Makefiles, but to get the most out of the extension you will need to have some concepts clear. In this tutorial, you’ll set up a simple C++ project that depends on a well-known Python library to produce some sample charts. This extension provides a set of commands to the editor that will facilitate working with projects that rely on a Makefile to speed up the build. Microsoft announced recently a new Visual Studio Code extension to handle Makefiles. If you’re interested in a different approach to building and packaging software then check us out.
This article is about using make and a Makefile in VS Code.
We make building software simpler and therefore faster using containerization. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code.We’re Earthly. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license
When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json.
We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.
