Hi, pardon my ignorance. I'm trying to add some changes to the libvirt codebase
(https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt).
I've successfully built it with `meson setup /build` and a `compile_commands.json` was
generated in the build folder. But vscode keeps showing that there are errors from trying
to find certain files and identifiers. I have also copied the `compile_commands.json` to
the root of the project with no success. I'm new to working on a large C codebase, as
i'm mainly into Go. I have also installed the `meson.build` extension as prescribed in
https://mesonbuild.com/IDE-integration.html, is there anything i'm missing?

I only used vscode once about 4 years ago, and have never used it for
building libvirt, so I can't help you there, but I can tell you how I
setup a build environment and build libvirt from a shell prompt. The
following is on Fedora, and would work the same for any RHEL/CentOS
derivative:
1) to make sure I have all necessary -devel packages and tools
installed, I run:
sudo dnf builddep libvirt
and allow it to install everything it asks to install.
2) to setup the build directory, I run:
meson build -Dsystem=true
3) To just build the binaries:
ninja -C build test
or 4) to build rpm packages that can be installed with dnf:
(first commit any local changes)
ninja -C build dist && rpmbuild -ta build/meson-dist/libvirt*.tar.xz
