Provide a vscode server to msys2 #184534

@Febbe

Description

@Febbe

There are several problems on windows with MSYS2, to name some:

  • The path variable is often broken
  • vscode uses git cmake, make, ninja and other binaries from the systems path, not from the MSYS/MINGW path
  • many scripts detect the MSYS environment, and expect unix paths
  • many scripts detect the MSYS environment, and expect unix line terminators (LF)

When you would provide a vscode server to msys, like you did for WSL all those problems are gone.
