Hi! I'm sorry for using this space asking you this, but my Hello World took 10+ seconds to compile and run. Awkward, right? Already reinstall the MSYS2, use the g++ instead of the gcc on c_cpp_properties.json but nothing worked. Maybe if I could compile and run the same Hello World program on another IDE, to see if this is a VScode problem, but idk how to do it. Can you help me, pls? Thank you!

How do I change the exe location folder ?

[meliodassama]

Really need help, my visual code says "cannot build and debug because the active file is not a c or c++ source"

I made a .c and a .cpp file, both don't work

[davideschreiber]

Completed everything as described, but get error message when I try to run a program. So frustrating. I think I'll abandon C with curses and stick with Python.
