user2444: I'm working to set up the plutus-starter-devcontainer integration with VSCode.
Dev Environment:

macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
Docker Desktop 4.0.0

Following the instructions from here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter
Running on a new machine without GHC or Stack installed, I created ~/.cabal/packages directory on my machine.
After running a cabal update, the cabal build command generates the following error:
cabal: Failed to build prettyprinter-configurable-0.1.0.0 (which is required
by test:plutus-example-projects-test from plutus-starter-0.1.0.0 and
exe:plutus-starter-pab from plutus-starter-0.1.0.0). The failure occurred
during the configure step. The exception was:
dieVerbatim: user error (cabal:
'/nix/store/3jdnjxxb855s6q7n01d7p3ivzr1l36r9-ghc-shell-for-packages-ghc-8.10.4.20210212-env/bin/ghc'
exited with an error:

collect2: error: ld returned 137 exit status
`cc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1)
)

Any help much appreciated.
