Development Environment on the Pinebook Pro

[gabeeg]

For Python there is Eric which seems to work fine on the PBP. My usual IDE which is VScode or Thonny, I could not find or have had little success...tried to get Thonny working but no luck yet with a pip3 install (only spent a few minutes but seems it is croaking on some dependencies during the install). Going to have to look at the ARM VScode ...though it will frustrate me as well if it is not fairly current!

The headmelted vscode (old version) was too sluggish for me on my PBP. On the other hand, the Spyder IDE works as expected so far.

Yea it's super bad on the Debian build but it's fine on Manjaro. I'm not sure why yet.

To me getting VSCode aka Code-OSS to run was quite important. So in case anyone else cares about it too: it builds from sources on Manjaro ARM.

You need to install base-devel and python2.
Then get the sources from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode and use yarn to build it.
Note that to use the Marketplace for Add-Ons you need to patch your product.json as described in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/23831
Simply add

Code:

"extensionsGallery": {
"serviceUrl": "[url=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery]https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery[/url]",
"cacheUrl": "[url=https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index]https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index[/url]",
"itemUrl": "[url=https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items]https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items[/url]"
}

Finally run it using ./scripts/code.sh
Here is what I looks like

Here I've added the F# addon and started editing...

I could write a more detailed step by step guide if anyone wants. I ran several commands, some of which may have been unnecessary so I'd need to straighten that out before I can give the precise steps.

PS: if in the meantime anyone got the Signal desktop app to build and run, let me know

I ended up using VS Codium. Recent and no trackers. Builds work nicely

Thanks for the hint, bolinches.

I have been working on arm64/32 bit builds of VSCode and have setup a package repo for easy install.
There is a 32bit version for Debian/Stretch - version 1.35.1 - that works really well on the PineBook Pro.

All the IntelliJ stuff works as well, PyCharm for example is very good

[flyingscorpio]

Did anyone have any success in installing SublimeText?

edit: nevermind, hadn't seen it won't run on arm. Apparently it's been requested for years now but SublimeText won't do it. Proprietary nonsence. Any advice on free software editor not too different from SublimeText ?
I'd be happy to leave them because of this :-)

I use Pycharm pro inclusive docker plugin. And compiled the external file index module.

Works like a charm [emoji4]

Now only get a working (mini)conda [emoji6]
