I’m developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I’m on an immutable system I’d rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can’t get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it’s not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn’t reopen where I left off, can’t debug multiple instances (Not to say I don’t like GNOME Builder - it’s really good and will only get better, it’s just slowing me down at this point). I managed to get the flatpak building and debugging from within code, using the vscode-flatpak extension the only thing not working properly is clangd. I am using the meson build system.

This is probably a bit of a long shot, but has anyone else tried to do this?

BTW I’m not talking about using clangd with the vscode flatpak package

    I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. It seems like you’re asking why your clangd extension isn’t working? But then you say:

      I was asking about getting the clangd extension to work when developing an application against the freedesktop sdk as a flatpak. I’ve worked it out now, thanks for your interest
