Thanx a lot for this video. The installation process of MinGW has changed and most of the videos are old. Only this one explains the current procedure, thanks a lottt!!!

This channel gives you exactly what you need

Definitely precise and to the point, if the script doesn’t work once you install, restart your device and open up VScode it should work fine

Just wanted to say thank you! This was simple, and worked for me without problems. Very well done!

I tried another video, it told me to download some msys64 stuff, afterwards it told me to download some packages of mingw and that took over 15 mins. Finally when I thought it was done, I checked and it showed that there was some errors and the download was interrupted. Overall this whole process took me an hour and 30 mins until I found your video. LITERALLY! IT TOOK ME LESS THAN 5 MINS WHEN I WAS FOLLOWING UR GUIDE! Just know that I love this your video's and your a lifesaver!

thanks for the easy tutorial! configuration is way much harder than coding itself 😄

You are incredible! This was super thorough, so many other videos led me down the wrong path.

Thank you very much. I'm a rookie programmer who is only 18. But I love programming very much and I'd like to use vs code to program. I used to code python which is the simplest program language and already set up in vs code. So I don't need to do anything to activate it like C++. But when I wanted to try C++. I found it doesn't work at all. I tried to change some setting in vs code but it doesn't work still. After watching this video I finally know actually I should install MinGW and code runner. Thank you very much. I'll keep coding

This man is a genius. He has figured out how to time travel. He just simply says “ Im going to fast forward” it happens, he travels into the future. Why isn’t anyone talking about this??!!??

🤩Thanks man, finally got my C program compiled and ran in VS Code, woo-hoo! :D

[tutkualtas]

You can't imagine how much it helped me, I was searching for this information for a very long time.

[EnochKabange]

Worked like a charm. I had to restart VS Code to effect the changes as I was having errors of "GCC not blah blah" until I restarted the software. Thanks!

[vixenin]

omg I was struggling so much with Visual Studio, I didn't knew mingw was a thing <3

[gabehanby]

If you're getting an error in vscode after trying to run your scripts, you likely did nothing wrong try restarting your vscode after you've installed and added mingw to your path.

[notorious]

thank you so much man! I have been struggling with this for like a day and every other video did not work, you rescued me

[muhammadputrasirrhasri]

sorry, if when we check gcc at cmd and it says

'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


what i have to do?

[youtubeuser]

It worked! Concise and straight to the point.

[JoseEspinoza-htcx]

Excellent Kumar, straightforward, simple and easy. Thanks

[UddhavBanik]

Very helpful. I was trying to fix the issue of my code not running at all when I stumbled across this video. Worked for me very well

[aranyarayed]

at 3:18 could you tell exactly which exact packages are necessary for the language and why? I mean gcc g++ is alright but why should i install mingw 32 base?
