In particular, the debugger requires either gnome-terminal or xterm. However instead of looking for the terminal executable in `PATH`, for any linux platform the dll uses an hardcoded path to one of these. So, in order for debugging to work properly, you merely need to create symlinks to one of these terminals at the appropriate location. The good news is the the utility library is open source and with some effort we could build a patched version ourselves. See: Also, the extension should eventually no longer require an external terminal. See: Once the symbolic link temporary solution taken, everything shoud run smootly. */ let gdbDefaultsTo = if gdbUseFixed then "${gdb}/bin/gdb" else "gdb"; in vscode-utils.buildVscodeMarketplaceExtension { mktplcRef = { name = "cpptools"; publisher = "ms-vscode"; version = "1.17.3"; sha256 = "sha256-4mKCBqUCOndKEfsJqTIsfwEt+0CZI8QAhBj3Y4+wKlg="; arch = "linux-x64"; }; nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook makeWrapper ]; buildInputs = [ jq lttng-ust libkrb5 zlib stdenv.cc.cc.lib ]; postPatch = '' mv ./package.json ./package_orig.json # 1.
