Hello,

The error you’re encountering, “CMake Error: Unable to (re)create the private pkgRedirects directory,” suggests there might be an issue with directory permissions or Docker volume mounting. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check Directory Permissions:

    • Ensure that the directory /home/karsten-lnx/Desktop/TestProject and its subdirectories have the correct permissions set, allowing the user to write to them. You can use the command chmod -R 755 /home/karsten-lnx/Desktop/TestProject to set appropriate permissions.

  2. Verify Docker Volume Mounting:

    • Confirm that the Docker volume is correctly mounted. The command you provided mounts the project directory to /home/torizon/app inside the container. Ensure that this path is correct and accessible.

  3. Container Permissions:

    • Make sure the Docker container has the necessary permissions to write to the mounted volume. You might need to adjust the user permissions within the container or run the container with elevated privileges.

  4. Configuration Files:

    • Check your .vscode/tasks.json and other configuration files for any misconfigurations related to paths or permissions. Ensure that the paths specified in these files match the actual directory structure.

  5. Rebuild the SDK Container:

    • If the issue persists, try rebuilding the SDK container. This can be done by running the command Remote-Containers: Rebuild Container from the command palette in Visual Studio Code.

These steps should help you resolve the issue with deploying and debugging your C++ application using the Torizon extension in Visual Studio Code.
