Hi, im trying to build the server using VS Studio 2022 following the short instruction from the BUILDING.md file . I get a linking error in the end Error LNK1318 Unexpected PDB error; OK (0) ‘’ building using tools\windows\build.sh script works fine though. I would very much appreciate using VS Code and wonder what the issue might be? ---

Hi, I do not have knowledge of that error, or building in windows. But for working with vscode I would recommend you to try ubuntu. My workflow is to remote ssh from within vscode to a ubuntu server and do all the coding on there and build with make. Then I use a kvm from my development machine to view the screen consumer. ---

Ok, I’ve heard that the Linux env was more stable . And do use that on my everyday laptop . I’ll give that a try, otherwise just go for Linux all the way
