The devcontainer package in .devcontainer hasn't been updated for the new set of dependencies in the repository.
We'll need to update it for the following:
-
host dependencies added because of specific vcpkg packages we use. autoconf, etc.
-
new base container that includes vcpkg. e.g. https://mcr.microsoft.com/en-us/product/devcontainers/cpp/about
-
teach our build system and scripts how to handle a pre-populated
$VCPKG_ROOTinstead of always assuming our custom-downloaded one in Toolchain/Tarballs/vcpkg -
actually test to make sure that the vnc session works for building and running ladybird
-
investigate whether trying to attach a wayland/X11 portal to the devcontainer is a better approach than a vnc session for 'local' development.
