Your explanation was what I had in mind when using the term ‘reasonable’. I also have a MacBook stuck at 10.6, but I certainly wouldn’t expect the dev team to keep supporting a 10+ year old OS. (2.6.x can run on it anyway) Thanks for the info. Regards, Adrien > On Aug 27, 2019 w35d239, at

My understanding, and the link you posted does nothing to gainsay it, is that VSCode is an editor like emacs. You need other tools to do the building, packaging, and debugging. Like emacs, those tools can be integrated with the editor via tasks (link in previous email). What's your full setup

If your goal is to use a Windows computer to run and/or develop GnuCash, then an option is to... Execute GnuCash in Linux Display GnuCash in Windows I do not recommend deep investment into the current WSL. The drastically different WSL2 is already in preview and will be available within ~6-9
