How To Install C/C++ On Windows.(resolved) by Nobody: 1:00pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
So for the past 12hrs I’ve been trying to run C/C++ codes on my pc with no success. I’ve downloaded and installed the Microsoft C/C++ extension on vscode. I equally installed code runner on vscode. Then I downloaded and installed MinGw-W64 from sourceForge website. I copied the file path and went and set it on environment variables. After every every nothing. Please who uses C/C++ on vs code here. Is there any other way to go about this issue cause I’m tired; almost 3gb of data has been spent with no success? Or should I just go for an IDE? Would it be less complicated? |

Issue has been resolved after several days. Compiler installed and running. So no one here could even help me out; damn.

Rgade: It's because people hardly use C/C++ here. |

Karleb:That’s true though. It’s mostly JS,PY and PHP developers everywhere. If not for school I don’t even know what would have taken me to C. Time wey I suppose dey put into js. |

Nice, how did u do it? although, haven't finished learning c++ due to some projects but I hope to return to it, I used codeblocks while learning c++ |

GreatAchiever1:I missed the part where I had to navigate into the MinGw installer and manually mark the compilers I wanted for installation. That’s what I did differently. |

Rgade: So sorry I'm just seeing this post now. I actually have some experience with C/C++ on windows. I went with the MinGW route. Specifically I installed cygwin on my windows machine and then added %CYGWIN_PATH%\bin to my environment variables. (%CYGWIN_PATH% is the folder where cygwin was installed). So in the end I compile with gcc program.cpp -o program.exe .\program.exe |

dharak:Thanks. Turns out it wasn’t that much of a problem. I just installed the MinGw installation wizard on the computer and assumed I was done Turned out you still have to go through the wizard to download the needed files. |
