Alright so just in case anyone got stuck like I did on the Windows portion. I followed the C++ installation guide on visual studio code. Make sure you add the environment variables for C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin to access g++ --version and gcc --version. Unfortunately gdb --version was not running in command terminal since it was a unknown command. According to the visual studio code website this is because some MinGW-w64 toolset packages are not installed. I was able to run the command 'pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain' from the MSYS2 MINGW32 console. I then pressed enter to install all the packages. I then could add the path C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to my environment variables, since it was no longer empty. Hopes this helps anyone that gets stuck on windows with being unable to run gdb --version.

Thank you so much!!!! I spent the last 24 hours trying to get my VS code back to its original state after a CMAKE error. Can’t thank you enough. Just subscribed and liked your channel.

bro thank you for this video you are my hero.

Thanks for the VS code videos. 👍
Something I wish I knew when I started coding is how easy it is to do version control and upload to github directly from within VS Code.
Or how to create a cmake project from the command palette in order to compile my code on different platforms.

Hey, I've got a problem. I noticed that at 5:49, your dedicated task compiler was /usr/bin/g++ while mine is C:\msys64\mingw64\bin.exe( why is my different). Also for some reason the ./example for me it doesn't work. It just says this: The term './example' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1. Any tips/fixes?

Zero relevant links in the description. Commands aren't there to conveniently copy-paste. Zero responses in the comment section. There's absolutely no way your 564K subscribers are real people.

I'm probably not the first to point this out but. the path is wrong. if you follow VScodes example then the bind folder is sett to C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin by default. Other than that great video!

I'm not getting the GDB i.e. the debugger, I got the g++ and gcc

[Blue_SparkPro]

[sleepyboi]

[calculatedrisks]
