Installing Required Tools on Linux

The Linux agent workflow is driven by .github/Ubuntu/build.sh. It adds .github/Ubuntu/vl/cmd to PATH, runs vmake --make, and then builds with vbuild. The agent instructions deliberately route builds through this script instead of direct cmake, make, clang++, g++, or gdb calls.

Prepare a Linux environment with a C++ compiler toolchain, Bash, and LLDB. After copying the Release .github folder, make the copied scripts executable if the checkout blocks execution bits:

chmod +x .github/Ubuntu/build.sh
chmod +x .github/Ubuntu/vl/cmd/*

Build from the folder that contains the target vmake file:

For a repository with one Linux project, use REPO-ROOT/Test/Linux.
For a repository with multiple Linux projects, use REPO-ROOT/Test/Linux/PROJECT-NAME.
Run REPO-ROOT/.github/Ubuntu/build.sh for an incremental build.
Run REPO-ROOT/.github/Ubuntu/build.sh -f for a full rebuild.

Linux debug work should use lldb in an interactive terminal session. The copied guidelines expect the agent to start LLDB from the same folder that contains the vmake file so relative paths to binaries and source files remain correct.

If the application uses Release tools, run Release/Tools/BuildExecutables.sh in the Release repository. It produces CodePack, CppMerge, GacGen, and GlrParserGen under Release/Tools.
