Thanks a lot for the helpful guide! I know the steps are explained on the website but having someone to walk you through the process is a lot less stressful!
i tried getting a compiler to work with vs code last year and couldn't figure it out and gave up. this method was super easy, straight to the point, and ive got a working compiler now thank you.
Thank you so much. I started my first computer science class and was lost in the sauce. I didn’t know anything about what to install and how to install it. That is until I saw this video. Thanks to you I was able to print my first Hello World ! 😊
Hey everyone if g++ or the other compilers aren't showing up at 06:08 time in the video or when you try to run the code (which is what happened to me every single time I tried this) this sounds so dumb but just make sure you did all the previous steps correct and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER. It worked for me after this. Thanks Kenny Yip Coding for the tutorial and happy coding y'all :)
You dude is a hero! Let me add that the first time you run your code after you do this, there'll be a bunch of errors. Depending on how fast your computer is, it will take time before all the scripts load up and be read in your computer's system. Mine had a bunch of error at first when I ran my codes and I just restarted my laptop and it eventually worked.
The only video I could find that actually explained this clearly. Subscribed just off the quality of this video alone. As soon as I have hello worlded I'll be back to see what else you've got.
Thank you, I've been using online gdb for the longest, but just having the choice of vs code makes me happy. Make sure to restart the computer afterwards as well since it wasn't working until after.
3:40 - For those who get the error "gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command", close the terminal and open the command prompt again but run as administrator. EDIT: It might not work instantly, you might as well reboot the system first.
Thank you soooo soo much! I was trying to do some C++ learning, and Visual stdios would not work for me with C++! Anyone looking to fix your C++ problem on VS, defo use this youtube video!
This never works for me. It's like the world doesn't want me using vs code for c++, I followed this tutorial step by step, watched the video three times, and it still failed.
BRO, THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWESOME! I was suffering the whole day, and can't understand why VSCode is not working i swear i felt like I'd been all over the internet to find something about my problem BUT you're video help me. Thank you again pal!!!
Such a helpful tutorial 👏 !!! I had initially installed an up-to-date msvc for my vscode as instructed but for whatever reason the compiler version would always default to 199707 (c++98) despite all the online tutorials I followed elsewhere and efforts I made trying to fix it. However, completely switching to minGW was amazing as everything got fixed and now my c++23 code runs flawlessly!
alright folkes , everyhing in this video is awesome, just at the moment of running the code don't just blindly click on the first one, click on the one in which there is g++ and not gcc, took an hour+ of my time, but overall an awesome video. (gcc is for c while g++ is for c++ inputs and outputs)
Thank you man, I couldn't figure out the mingw and msys installation for the life of me and was using an online compiler for my code this whole. I basically had to force myself to make vscode work after my PC crashed and I lost all the code in an almost completed program.
I successfully downloaded this after a long time fixing erros, thank you very much for this useful video. If someone strugles with VS, I will highly recommand for them this.
First it did not work, but I figured out it was just because for some reason the user variable thing didn't happen, so I did it again and it works!! tysm!
For some people whom this didnt work for, try this. In your workspace folder, navigate to .vscode, and in there, will be a .json file. In that file, try replacing the gcc.exe to g++.exe in both the lines named label and command. That worked for me.
for people who had problem with gdb but gcc and g++ worked well: open MSYS2 and run command: "pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdn" (wait to install remain files for gdb) then again opened enviromental variable and paths as it is shown it video 2:52 now he added only C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin in video but you should add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin as well at the same place now try to run gdb --version and it should work.

my problem right here, life saver
ive been trying to fix this problem all day when all i had to do was restart my computer, thank you
your a life saver, its 5:35am and im so tired of trying to get this thing to work
You actually only need to close all VSCode windows so that the Path changes take effect.
Is there an error like this
The preLaunchTask 'C/C++:gcc.exe build active file' terminated with exit code -1 ?

same here! all possibilities ! really well explained, well done man!!!
I've been looking for a video like this. I always struggle to compile but now, it's not a problem. Thank you!
As someone who is a complete beginner, THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL VIDEO I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS, THE ONLY VIDEO THAT HELPED. Thankyou so much honestly. 🔥
Thank you, I've been using online gdb for the longest, but just having the choice of vs code makes me happy. Make sure to restart the computer afterwards as well since it wasn't working until after.
Thank you. My cmd line test didnt work at 3:57 but it worked in the MYSYS2 cmd line. This solved my issue with not having a compiler.
3:40 - For those who get the error "gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command", close the terminal and open the command prompt again but run as administrator.
EDIT: It might not work instantly, you might as well reboot the system first.
it still doesn't work
it is just not working
the only step where i am having issue is while doing that download in mysys2 as only 7 downloads turned successful out of 63
Instead of pasting it on path of user variable, paste it on path of system variable
thank you it worked after doing as u said@@vinamrajeet
THIS WORKED TYSM
Thank you soooo soo much! I was trying to do some C++ learning, and Visual stdios would not work for me with C++!

Which step are you failing at?
@@KennyYipCoding last step is just not working something is wrong with the compiler or something i have no clue this is my 3rd vid so far

I don't understand English very well, but I understand your language better than what is shown in my language. Thank you for your help.
Could you solve this issue? It happened to me as well...
Try selecting g++.exe when running instead of gcc.exe. That worked for me

Perfectly running after your tutorial thanks.
I think you are a teacher. Life made easy. Thanks.

Thank you for saving me
where do i find this workspace folder?
This works for me, but I have to edit this on every new project I make :( ... Avast antivirus deletes every .exe I create too, that's a pain.
Thank you for commenting this. Ive been trying to figure it out for months
Thank you my friend, helped alot. All the best! 🙏
Thank you so much! Very Helpful!

Thank you a lot. I LOVE YOU!!!!
thanks so much this was a good clean start
Excellent , Got it in a one go
Very well explained. Thank you for this wonderful video :)
for people who had problem with gdb but gcc and g++ worked well:
open MSYS2 and run command: "pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdn" (wait to install remain files for gdb)
then again opened enviromental variable and paths as it is shown it video 2:52
now he added only C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin in video but you should add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin as well at the same place
now try to run gdb --version and it should work.
THANK YOU!
