I have watched a lot of videos on this. Most of them says Mingw-w64 but they just install Mingw. But yours was truly helpful. Thank you so much for this.

I just wanna say thank you so much bc currently as a CS student during COVID it is a lot harder to figure this stuff out on our own. I've spent the past few days trying different things and had no luck. But thanks to your video I was able to finally get it to work and now I'm gonna help out some of my classmates in discord. Thank u SO MUCH!!!!

Your video really helped me a lot...most of the video on youtube use Mingw installer & Msys2 installer...It is great if you can teach how to setup the configuration for debugging 😃

I followed your steps in the guide but when I run any code the following pops up: 'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. Do you know how to help?

[peshotod]

And this is 2018 version as it says.There should be updated version.Do you know where to download the zip from?

[shashangkakashyap]

I didn't close my VS Code and was checking why it is giving me error has this header file not found etc. 😂. Thanks for saving me from wasting more time.

hi, i downloaded MinGW from sourceforge using same link, but there is no BIN folder in directory, cannot find gcc.exe
Please help

[jojobobpants]

why do I have to put it in 2x so it sounds normal

[banj]

when I typed g++ --version it works, but after trying to compile the cpp file, it says
g++.exe: error: 1.cpp: No such file or directory
g++.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
and i noticed that my terminal directory is not pointing to my file's folder, how to set the terminal path?

thanks
