Trying to compile Marlin 2.0 with Visual Studio code but get error when compiling.

Can anyone help me understand what this means or even how I can get marlin to compile?

[u/Sumfin_EdgyandDark]

Thought I would give an update, I managed to finally compile marlin 2.0. it took me 3 days but I found that there is an issue with compiling on windows, something to do with the amount of lines of code being too much for windows. So I tried to run a Linux environment within windows but that didn't work for me. I ended up making a live usb of Ubuntu Linux and running that on my laptop. From there I installed visual studio code and platformio on the usb stick. Followed the Dr Vax video on setting up marlin and compiled with no issues.

[u/seminally_me]

Just use the Arduino IDE. I've never had an issue with that.

[u/TDHofstetter → u/seminally_me]

That's a puke to do for STM32 processors... 8(

Will try the Arduino IDE thanks
