Add build instructions #21

Closed BinaryWarlock closed 1 year ago

BinaryWarlock commented 3 years ago

The README offers no hint on how to build and install the extension locally.

In addition: How do you package it to a .VSIX?

The project is made directly from the VS Code extension template. If you open it in VS Code all the default build, watch and packaging tasks are in the usual locations.

Were you able to get the extension installed and working? I am going to improve the install experience.

@BinaryWarlock On the ZLS wiki, it explains how to download and compile ZLS. There's also a page about configuring it with Visual Studio Code. https://github.com/zigtools/zls/wiki/Downloading-and-Building-ZLS

@fivemoreminix I ended up downloading the .VSIX from the extension marketplace (here, "Download Extension" on the right in case anyone is wondering). I can't browse it from within VSCode because I use Codium (see #20).

ZLS was easy to install, I'm just unfamiliar with the VSCode extension build process, so adding a quickstart to the README might benefit people.

For sure, that would be very helpful.
