That is only part of the issue. The other part relates to omnisharp which I think I’ll be submitting to their repository.

@cra0zy we will respect ID_LIKE so actually that will automatically work if I check for ‘arch’.

Okay, I will try and get out a fix for this soon.

@gregg-miskelly this worked thnx! what i did:

created .debugger directory in ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.5.3/.debugger
unzipped the content of coreclr-debug-ubuntu.16.04-x64.zip in .debugger
chmod +x OpenDebugAD7 and clrdbg (not sure why these two lost their executable properties, maybe zip doesn’t understand those?)
open C# project and finally enjoy debugging

for your info: /etc/OS_RELEASE#NAME=“Arch Linux” ID=arch PRETTY_NAME=“Arch Linux” ANSI_COLOR=“0;36” HOME_URL=“https://www.archlinux.org/” SUPPORT_URL=“https://bbs.archlinux.org/” BUG_REPORT_URL=“https://bugs.archlinux.org/” VERSION_ID=“2016.06.20”

VERSION_ID is actually the installed date of the OS so this has nothing to do with the actual version of Arch Linux, Arch Linux is a rolling release distro so everybody that cares a bit for their machine is actually running recent stuff.

What part of code is generating “runtimes” line in “coreclr-debug/project.json”?

EDIT: Never mind, found it, the project is much better organized than I anticipated.
