hey, who can help me? type in DM.

[river oak]

why dm?

[rapid hatch]

oh

you can repeat here

good

[river oak]

what extensions do you use?

follow https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp

you have a issue with your intellisense

[rapid hatch]

none, only c++ extensions

[stone otter]

@rapid hatch has reached level 1. GG!

[river oak]

do you have a compiler installed?

if no then look at this section: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp#_install-a-compiler

use mingw

[rapid hatch]

I can't test the app yet because it's a virus. but i can't understand why it shows error with include. maybe need to install libraries?

[rapid hatch]

installed

@river oak

[river oak]

you need a compiler installed for the intellisense to work

thats why it shows you a error

[rapid hatch]

maybe need to install libraries?

[river oak]

no, need to install compiler

iostream is a standard library

you dont need to install that, tho its shown as a error

[rapid hatch]

ah

[river oak]

install mingw

[rapid hatch]

i can install it from vs code extensions?

[river oak]

no

[rapid hatch]

k

[river oak]

https://www.msys2.org/ for example @rapid hatch

[rapid hatch]

installed

[river oak]

open cmd and type gcc -v (just to test)

[stone otter]

@rapid hatch has reached level 2. GG!

[rapid hatch]

lol

[river oak]

probably not in your path

search for the mingw bin folder

and add it to the PATH environment @rapid hatch

[rapid hatch]

idk

i dont have

bin

in mingw folder

[river oak]

in mingw64

[rapid hatch]

alr

[river oak]

you are in msys

[rapid hatch]

i found

bin

[river oak]

👍

add it to the PATH

[rapid hatch]

which path?

[river oak]

windows searchbar -> "Edit environment variables for your account"

select Path in user variables

click edit

click new

add the bin folder you found

the path to it

then save

restart cmd

try again

gcc -v

[rapid hatch]

what name

i should type

[river oak]

not here lol

[rapid hatch]

fuck

[river oak]

.

[river oak]

.

[rapid hatch]

that?

i replaced already

[river oak]

yes

[rapid hatch]

by the way, the question is, do I need to install libraries if I will not run this file on my PC? but I will simply convert it into a file so that it can be launched and used

[river oak]

did you restart cmd or nah?

[rapid hatch]

yep

[river oak]

do you have a gcc.exe inside your bin folder or nah?

[rapid hatch]

nah

[river oak]

it depends

show your file structure

[rapid hatch]

empty folder

[river oak]

only this one file?

[rapid hatch]

yep

[river oak]

then yes you need https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk

[rapid hatch]

how does it work? Can I convert this file into a program?

[river oak]

use vcpkg

vcpkg install cpprestsdk cpprestsdk:x64-windows

[stone otter]

@rapid hatch has reached level 3. GG!

[river oak]

[river oak]

i didnt tell you to download it

[rapid hatch]

oh

haha

alr

[rapid hatch]

in cmd or what

[river oak]

yea but you will need vcpkg first

its a dependency manager

[rapid hatch]

so i need download that zip?

[river oak]

no you need to install vcpkg and then use the cmd i've send to install the lib

[rapid hatch]

where i can install vcpkg?

sorry man for my stupid questions

[river oak]

honestly, it might make sense to switch to visual studio at that point instad of visual studio code

it will be easier for you

[river oak]

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
then
.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

if you dont have git then download from https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg

and only execute .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat in the folder

[rapid hatch]

I just need to write one program, and transfer the code to a working program that won't even have an interface. Therefore, there is no point in switching

[river oak]

just saying because its easier for beginners to use it

did you install vcpkg?

[rapid hatch]

done

[river oak]

also cpprestsdk ?

[rapid hatch]

you mean this?

[river oak]

y

[river oak]

add to Path

[rapid hatch]

which path?

[river oak]

windows path

you did it with mingw a few minutes ago

[rapid hatch]

alr

but which path?

C:\Users\myName\Desktop\vcpkg-master

this?

[river oak]

the folder where vcpkg.exe is in

[rapid hatch]

i need to make new path?

[river oak]

as done here ye

[rapid hatch]

done?

[river oak]

c:\vcpkg

thats what you normally want

not desktop

then restart cmd

[rapid hatch]

im tryed to launch program

and got an error

[rapid hatch]

ahhhh dont work

[stone otter]

@rapid hatch has reached level 4. GG!

[river oak]

antivirus disabled?

[rapid hatch]

i found problems

this

[river oak]

yea makes sense

ping me tomorrow again im going to sleep

[rapid hatch]

alr

good night

[rapid hatch]

@river oak

yo bro

[river oak]

so since you dont want to use visual studio

you should use cmake

here is a tutorial that you can follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/get_started/get-started-vscode?pivots=shell-cmd

[rapid hatch]

yo

when i start program

im getting error

[sacred grail]

Which cmnd did you used to create exe file

If you are using vscode

Use extension code runner

Then click run it will automatically do all the work for you

If you need help with creating a program hit me up with a dm, I did be happy to help

[river oak]

click on open launch.json

you messed something up

[rapid hatch]

okay

i will try it

but now im going sleep

thanks for helping me guys
