VSCode no longer support for Amazon Linux 2

0

Following the recent update from VSCode v1.86, they will no longer support Linux distro with glibc <2.28 and libstdc++ < 3.4.25. Is there any plan from the AWS team to update this?

Hello,

Lundi here, thank you for reaching out with your question,

I would like to mention that our internal teams are aware of the mentioned issue whereby Starting with version 1.86, Visual Studio Code will require a minimum GNU C Library (glibc) version of 2.28. AL2 ships with glibc version 2.26, and currently, Amazon Linux does not provide a path to upgrade this library in AL2.

On 2024-02-08, Microsoft released a new build 1.86.1 that will work with older versions of glibc. If you encounter any issues with 1.86.1, please comment here.

  • Thank you for this. The PM on the Git hub tread mentioned this and we have updated it. However, he also mentioned that this will be only for one year(https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/203375#issuecomment-1927893504). This is a bit worrying as the main reason why we use AL2 is that currently, the tesseract OCR package is not support on AL2023 and we use this package in our SaaS app and unfortunately, we have not found a suitable substitute. What will you advise we do?
