This is port of Electron and VSCode for Freebsd.

This was built with FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1.
Chromium version in port is 58.0.3029.110.
Electron version => 1.7.7
VSCode version => 1.17.2

FreeBSD - 11.0-RELEASE-p1  
clang40  
node v8.8.1
npm 5.4.2 (Downgraded to 4.6.1 > npm install -g npm@4)

Needs atleast 8gb stotage space. On a i7 Toshiba with 16gb RAM takes 6 hrs to build vscode. (In Virtalbox VM). The nsfw node module is just a stub for the compilation to complete. File watching is not implemented.

Building

chmod 755 vscode_build.sh

./vscode_buildv1.sh

VSCODE should not be built as root, or npm will fail.

TO RUN VSCODE :

\VSCode-freebsd-x64\bin\code-oss

(example > /usr/home/xyz/VSCode-freebsd-x64/bin/code-oss)
