Can someone help me get through the process of fully setting up my IDE with a compiler? (I use Visual Studies and I have GCC installed)

[fallow lodge]

You don't need to install GCC if you use Visual Studio since VS already has it's on compiler pre-installed

Open the Visual Studio Installer -> Modify -> Desktop development with C++

Visual Studio uses MSVC by default

Fr?

But look at this

[fallow lodge]

Show me

[fallow lodge]

Visual Studio Code != Visual Studio

[nimble agate]

I forgot the difference 💀

[nimble agate]

I alr have that compiler installed

Thanks a lot

[fallow lodge]

Great, then skip the installing part

[nimble agate]

Wait

It says download that latest compiler

[fallow lodge]

Where?

[nimble agate]

The MSYS2 compiler

[nimble agate]

in the site

[fallow lodge]

You can ignore that if you already have a working compiler

[nimble agate]

I have this -> mingw-w64-install.exe

(I put the admin password in but I can't find the actual file)

[nimble agate]

Ik this is the setup file

[fallow lodge]

Did you install it or only downloaded the installer

[fallow lodge]

Ah okay

[fallow lodge]

What? Where?

[nimble agate]

Idk the installed real compiler

name

[fallow lodge]

Open a terminal and type 'gcc'

and send the output

[nimble agate]

[nimble agate]

[nimble agate]

[broken halo]

Visual Studio Code == Visual Studio

[fallow lodge]

Obv not

[broken halo]

≠?

[tawdry frost]

Visual studio code is a text editor

Visual studio is an IDE

[broken halo]

Naw youre right youre tight

[tawdry frost]

Dunno if you were satire when you said that lol

[fallow lodge]

@nimble agate is it working now?

[nimble agate]

Isn't an IDE the same thing as a text editor?\

[fallow lodge]

code editor*

sounds better 🙂

[modern heath]

nuh uh

[nimble agate]

whats the difference

[modern heath]

text editor edits text

[fallow lodge]

IDE's are text editors with more features the development

vscode has plugins for that

[nimble agate]

oh

[fallow lodge]

the compiler is usually already preconfigured in a ide while it's not in vscode

you have to set it up manually

[nimble agate]

technically even a notepad is a code editor?

[fallow lodge]

wouldn't call notepad a code editor

[nimble agate]

text editor?

[fallow lodge]

yes

[nimble agate]

well same thing

anyways

what do i do i forgor 💀

[fallow lodge]

well it's not made implicitly for coding

[valid root]

no colorful text in notepad

[nimble agate]

no colors 😔

ok so how do i setup the compiler

i kinda forgor what this post was about

[fallow lodge]

i send you a link to the official tut

[nimble agate]

ok let me watch it
