ProgrammingRe: How To Install C/C++ On Windows.(resolved) by dharak: 7:25pm On Apr 30, 2021
Rgade:
So for the past 12hrs I’ve been trying to run C/C++ codes on my pc with no success.
I’ve downloaded and installed the Microsoft C/C++ extension on vscode.
I equally installed code runner on vscode.
Then I downloaded and installed MinGw-W64 from sourceForge website.
I copied the file path and went and set it on environment variables.
After every every nothing.
Please who uses C/C++ on vs code here.
Is there any other way to go about this issue cause I’m tired; almost 3gb of data has been spent with no success?
Or should I just go for an IDE? Would it be less complicated?
So sorry I'm just seeing this post now. I actually have some experience with C/C++ on windows. I went with the MinGW route. Specifically I installed cygwin on my windows machine and then added %CYGWIN_PATH%\bin to my environment variables. (%CYGWIN_PATH% is the folder where cygwin was installed).

So in the end I compile with

gcc program.cpp -o program.exe
.\program.exe
