- Go to Texstudio menu "Options -> Configure Texstudio -> Commands -> XeLaTex", and enter the following command: `xelatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape -aux-directory=build -output-directory=build %.tex`. This command sets both the aux and output directories to ".\build".

- Go to Texstudio menu "Options -> Configure Texstudio -> Build -> Meta Commands -> Default Compiler", and enter `txs:///xelatex`. This switches the default compiler from `pdflatex` to `xelatex`. Then, enable the checkbox "Show Advanced Options".

- For Texstudio menu "Options -> Configure Texstudio -> Build -> Build Options -> PDF File", enter `build`. This tells the pdf previewer to look for the generated pdf file in the ".\build" directory.

These steps will enable you to build from sources inside a virtual machine using TeXstudio. Keep in mind that the VSCode and Docker approach might not work in a virtual machine environment, because it requires extra set-up for [nested virtulization](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39720254/can-i-run-docker-in-a-virtual-machine). Ask @wxinix if you have any questions.
