Assistance with Building VSCodium for RISC-V

[karthick-govindaraj]

I am currently working with RISC-V and successfully running VSCodium on my RISC-V board. However, I'm facing challenges with building VSCodium from source on both my RISC-V board and a Docker QEMU emulator (https://github.com/DavidBurela/riscv-emulator-docker-image.git), where I encounter a yarn error.

I followed the build instructions here: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/docs/howto-build.md, but I haven’t been able to resolve the error. Would you be able to assist and provide guidance on how you managed to build VSCodium for RISC-V?

Thank you very much for your time and any insights you can offer.

hi @daiyam,
could you please check above issue while building vscodium and help resolve the above issue? It seems that a file or dependency required by Electron isn’t available at the specified URL. I’ve rebuilt it twice but am still stuck at this point. Could you guide me on how to fix this error?

try with export VSCODE_ELECTRON_REPOSITORY='riscv-forks/electron-riscv-releases' to download the correct electron.

Thanks, @daiyam, that worked. However, I'm now encountering another error: HttpError: request to https://api.github.com/repos/riscv-forks/electron-riscv-releases/releases/180458845/assets failed, reason: socket hang up

but the link works fine I don't know whats gone wrong
