That's fine, nothing to worry about.
It just means that you're using and older BlitzMax version that does not create the output folder for you when compiling your source.
Your binary files will be placed inside your source folder, just like with MaxIDE.

I'll work on making that message clearer in the future.

I've pushed a new release that references the troubleshooting section whenever there's a problem or error.
Oh and I've added a troubleshooting section heh.

Hey Hezcore. Working great for VSCode on Linux Mint :]
I switched to it from the standard MaxIDE and have been using it since.

Hezkore

Glad you like it. Any questions/requests/problems/canary let me know! I'll be continuing to work on it...

How does this compare to BlIDE?  Does the VSCode extension support complete debugging features?

Hezkore

Thanks for taking an interest in the extension LT!
One of the main features being worked on is the debugger.
You can try Brucey's experimental debugger, but there is some configuration to be done before it works correctly.

I'm interested, but I don't have time to spare experimenting right now.  I'm in the middle of a large BMX based game project and might want to port it to NG when it's ready.  My only major problem with Blide is that it's not NG compatible.
Derron mentioned Brucey's debugger, but I could find it nowhere.  Do you have a link?

Skaven

hezkore just told you about the debugger not derron
and you just said you had no time to experiment right now but then a second later youre willing to test?
and the debugger is literally the first thing on bruceys repository list and took 2 seconds to find https://github.com/woollybah/vscode-blitzmax-debug
