Thanks Brian! You saved me and friend for one of our classes. We would have died if we didn't see your video

Good vid, pretty insightful, thanks for the upload, earned my sub!

Thank you, it helps me understand, why my code don`t compile on Ubuntu under WSL. Very concise and helpful:).

Does this still work? I've tried to go through the steps in the video but VSCode does not let me open a folder in WSL so I am stuck on that step. It also isn't letting me use commands in the terminal?

Hey, good video ! I have one qustion, what operation system you maining ( Windows, linux, macos)?

[zlobert]

Only thing that is different on my system(linux mint) is that the "[1] + done" is on the same line(no spacing between) as the string i printed out. Would like to change that.

I have install the extension and done all the steps but i am not getting the green button of wsl in bottom

hi, may I ask how to solve the terminal, because at terminal-> default configuration, mine doesn't prompt me the list of g++ build options, it only showed me 3 options that looked something like this: "C/C++: cl.exe build active file"
I already have all the extensions installed

Thanks for the video. I followed your instructions, however I don't have g++ on my list of compilers. Just Gulp, Grunt and Jake tasks are listed. What do I need to do to get the g++ compiler to show up? I did install WSL and g++ in Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

I made a directory in Windows and the rest worked out ok. Although why Run active file, under the terminal heading didn't work I suppose is another adventure in peculiarity.
Anyhow, despite my frustration, thanks for the video, it was helpful.

Make sure to do a `sudo apt install gdb` and `sudo apt-get update` if you don't have gdb installed or else vscode will complain with an error
