- In this short video, we'll install VS Code and MSYS2 to compile, run, and debug C++ programs on Windows 11. These same steps work for Windows 10 as well.

Wow, i was stuck on this for a few days after I got a new ssd. A lot of other videos use the source forge mingw which I found didnt work but came across your's and now its working! Super short and right to the point amazing
sir , you are the best , finally I was able to run c++ code in vs code . Thankyou so much sir💯💯
thankyou brother best video got it alright working like champ💖💝
Good job, thank you so much 👍🏼✌🏼
Thank you very much !
great video
why only take the ...-gdb package? any reason not to just take all?
I don't know why I don't find (Environment variables). This is the second time I'm trying to install the program, but I'm having the same problem.
Searching the start menu for "Environment" always brings it up for me on Windows 10 or 11.
Right clicking the start menu and opening "System" then clicking the "Advanced system settings" link gets me there too.
Hope this helps.
i am not getting any output in terminal but the code is compiling successfully what could be the issue ?
I've seen VS Code not display the terminal output for the first run after setting up everything because it's on another tab in the terminal area. However, this was solved for me by manually clicking the terminal tab or just running the program again. Not sure this is what you experienced.
What should i do if i do not have my auto complete working?
The main things are installing the programs and adding them to the path in windows. Double check those things first.
Otherwise, it's such a broad problem, that starting fresh and installing again might be the way.
Let me know how it goes.
hey dude, i dont know why but i cannot see the gcc ane gdb thing in my visual code , the thing which you were doing at 3.50 min help me out here
same
I'm having an issue where isn't working are there any fixes ?
Might be using iostream functions without the "std::" in front of each use or not "using namespace std;" would cause problems. If it just can't include iostream, the compiler could be missing core parts of C++ and probably needs reinstalled or some such thing. Hopefully you have it sorted out :)
@@KNuggies I found a step that I did wrong so reinstalling it did end up working so thank you for the help

it says something about jason file
I have the same problem
@@kawaiineko6518 use g++ main.cpp -o main.exe instead of gcc main.cpp -o main.exe . Additionally make sure you are inside the correct directory, if not make a new folder and use gcc again. Cheers!
Why Msys2?
This method was based on the VS Code documentation. I also like using virtual machines, docker containers, WSL, or the original Visual Studio on Windows. There are lots of ways to run C++.
the vscode said that my file is does not exist and needs to open json file, how to fix?
Not sure what json file it would be trying to open...unless it is prompting you to create the "launch.json" file to save your launch configuration for each time you press F5. That is normal as it will create a "launch.json" file to store which launch mode you chose. If you have an issue with this file, you can delete it from the .vscode directory and try again.
