How to compile and run vscode source code

##1. Prepare the environment

Git

Node.js (64-bit, >= 8.12.0, < ; 9.0.0)

Python (preferably version 2.7, version 3.0 and above is not supported)

1. Set PYTHON to point to your environment variable python.exe. For example: C:\Python27\python.exe

2. Install the compiler for the native modules that VSCode depends on

Option 1 (recommended): Use Windows Build Tools npm module

Launch Powershell as administrator and install the Windows Build Tools npm module (documentation).

npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015

NOTE: The --debug flag can be useful if you encounter any problems during installation.

Note: If you encounter an error, the build tool for v141 (Platform Toolset = 'v141') cannot be found. "You may have a version of Visual Studio installed. Either uninstall that version or make sure to install the VC 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) Desktop Installation Toolset

Option 2: Use Visual Studio 2017

Install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition

Select to use C for desktop development

Select the desktop VC 2015.3 v14.00 (V140) toolset on the right hand side

NOTE: If you encounter an error "Build Tools V141 (platform-toolset="V141") cannot be found". Make sure you have the toolset for Desktop VC 2015.3 v14.00 (V140) installed

Restart your computer Warning: Make sure your configuration file path only contains ASCII letters, such as John, otherwise it may cause issues with node gyp usage (nodejs/node-gyp/issues#297)

NOTE: Building and debugging via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not currently supported.
