I don’t know, I don’t use Visual Studio Code. What command does make install run? Does log.txt say it extracts?
@Vortico make install its the script you have done 
It correctly make the .zip and copy on my user document’s folder. Than, gdb load the Rack.exe (as write in the config above).
Here’s Rack.exe log when I open it manually (with the zip dist there with only make install):

As you can see, there’s Extracting package line: it works!!!.

I than Run F5 on VSCode, which call make install again (generating the zip correctly on the folder) and start automatically Rack.exe.

As you can see, the only line that is missing is the Extracting package.
It doesn’t extract (+ replace) the folder.
Not really sure what it can be. Is there some param to pass to rack? I don’t think…
Also permission: if vscode is able to create/copy a zip, I believe the same process is able to unzip.
Right?
I meant “post what make install runs”, since it needs to expand certain variables.
You also haven’t given any information whatsoever about your system, so basically everything anyone posts here is utter guesswork.
You should make sure that each step is completed successfully by VSCode, using its console or whatever.
@Vortico: right, sorry!
Here’s my system: Windows 10 Professional, 64bit, MinGW (gcc + gdb) and VSCode.
Here’s the output of make install:

@Vortico
Here happens the same thing with the same confuguration system,
Rack executed with GDB from VSCODE, it does not unzip the plugin in the default local folder.
I want to add that VSCODE:
when the plugin is unzipped and present, it works fine, I can debug with GDB without problem.
@Richie
Please you could post your configuration files for Visual Studio so I could try it?

@flowstoner Sure: my Rack checkout is in C:\src\Rack\Rack, with the executable at C:\src\Rack\Rack\Rack.exe. My launch.vs.json is in C:\src\Rack\Rack\.vs and looks like this:
{
"version": "0.2.1",
"defaults": {},
"configurations": [
{
"type": "cppdbg",
"name": "Rack.exe",
"project": "Rack.exe",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"program": "${debugInfo.target}",
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "${env.MINGW_PREFIX}\\bin\\gdb.exe",
/*"externalConsole": true,*/
"args": [
"-d"
]
}
]
}
One thing to beware of: the default .gitignore for Rack includes Rack.exe, which prevents Visual Studio from showing it in Solution Explorer. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn’t see it!

@Richie Thanks!
This is to launch and debug Rack itself with GDB, but with the -d flag Rack not load any external module, only the core one,
ours problems is that Rack(no -d flag) not unzip the plugin when loaded with GDB.
Anyway, now visual studio correctly supports the intellisense with gcc? the last time I tried to configure it didn’t work properly. If you use it and confirm that it works well, could you also share your .json configuration?

After those files gdb started running but line breakpoints did not work. The key was what @Richie said:
ifdef ARCH_MAC
$(STRIP) -S dist/$(SLUG)/$(TARGET)
else
# RJH $(STRIP) -s dist/$(SLUG)/$(TARGET)
endif
After commenting that line the breakpoints are working.
If you want to use the files you will have to change the plugin relative path “${workspaceFolder}/plugins/LomasModules” to point to your plugin folder. Also you may need to change the paths to gdb, gcc, and rack. I have MSYS2 on c: and Rack on Program Files.

I’m not using a launch task, just using the terminal for executing make make dep for Plugins but not installing them. I’m running Rack from the source folder of rack and the plugins subdirectory. Works like a charm. And you have two isolated environments, when running Rack in development mode with "args": ["-d"].

Yep! This worked for me as well. I’ve got my plugin debugging working after removing the $(STRIP) command. strip -s removes the debugger symbols as commented in compile.mk and confirmed here. I’ve added a makefile argument that I set from the command line to alternate between stripping and not stripping depending on if I want to debug or not.
Thanks for the confirmation @lomasmodules and the help @Richie! Now I can really dive into some fun!
FYI:
I’ve written a more detailed article on how I got my Windows environment setup for step by step debugging and building. Hope it helps!

Ok, could someone help me just to get the damn thing to build upon hitting F5? If I can get that working perhaps I’ll be able to sort the debugging out myself.

The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1
Running make install in the terminal works fine.
Clueless, frustrated & grateful for any assistance.
In task.json try to put your plugin folder
“cwd”: “${workspaceRoot}/plugins/pluginname”
I use ctrl+B to run it, not F5.
Thanks, no change.
I use emacs, but from looking at the json, why do you have a ** after the Rack-SDK directory?
env": {
"RACK_DIR": "/home/ewen/Rack-SDK/**"
}
That looks wrong. I thought ** expanded directories.
If RACK_DIR is set wrong you won’t find rack.hpp
Thanks, amended, no change.
