Try typing g++ Untitled-1.cpp -o Untitled-1 -static ; .\Untitled-1 in the terminal

Does that work?

[dry leaf]

yes i tried i sitll get same error

[keen hull]

there's an error?

[hot sluice]

Alright

[dry leaf]

like this is the most annoying part i am trying to learn cpp i am new to cpp

[hot sluice]

Type echo $env:PATH and show the result

[modern lotus]

Honestly using Visual Studio/CLion/Rider would save you all of this headache

[dry leaf]

oh so i should stop vscode then

[hot sluice]

There's minimal headache

[dry leaf]

this is what i get

??

[hot sluice]

See C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin right in the middle? It should be as close to the beginning as possible. Move it there as described here: https://github.com/HolyBlackCat/cpp-tutorials/blob/master/tooling/articles/terminal_for_dummies.md#how-to-modify-path

[modern lotus]

I would advise that. All three of those IDEs I mentioned are completely free for noncommercial use, and they require minimal setup to get working

[dry leaf]

sorry i did not get you

[hot sluice]

Didn't get what part? 😛

[dry leaf]

i mean See C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin right in the middle? It should be as close to the beginning as possible. Move it there as described here:

[unique trout]

dir Untitled-1.*

what does this output ?

[dry leaf]

how does it help in mvoing the path file

[hot sluice]

You have to edit the path setting as described in the link

Read the link, it explains what to do

[dry leaf]

this is the path

[unique trout]

right so something went wrong in compilation
run just

g++ Untitled-1.cpp -o untitled

and show what it shows

[dry leaf]

i get nothing

[unique trout]

now run ./untitled

[unique trout]

dir untitled*

[hot sluice]

Ok, so move C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin to the very beginning of this list.

Save the changes, restart vsc, type echo $env:PATH again, and hopefully it should be closer to the beginning of the list

[dry leaf]

Ok sure

[unique trout]

@hot sluice dont u think this is weird ? even if it did choose the wrong g++ , shouldnt it atleast make a exe ?

[hot sluice]

Yeah this is GCC-on-windows weirdness. It has some internal executables that are in a different directory (so not in the same directory as the DLLs they need), which can make it sensitive to bad PATH

[unique trout]

hmmm , interesting

[hot sluice]

On Linux this is not a problem because executables hardcode library search paths. While on Windows they normally only search in their own directory and in PATH (and some other places)

[hot sluice]

So did it work?

[dry leaf]

i have moved up and restared my vsc

yes it did work

but how does moving C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin this to top work not at bottom i am super confused

like the order does not matter right

[hot sluice]

It does matter 😛

It's somewhat convoluted too, and it can affect your own programs, not just the compiler. https://stackoverflow.com/q/78598336/2752075

oh i am new to cpp can you guide me what topics i need to learn

and where to practice cpp

i am currently watching videos from cherno

[dry leaf]

thank you so much for helping me resolving this issue

[hot sluice]

You're welcome 😛

I don't have a list of topics for you.
People usually recommend text tutorials or books, instead of videos, since they're usually more accurate. But that's up to you
If you decide to go with a book, I heard Stroustrup's PPP is alright

[dry leaf]

but the maain problem with books is get i get pretty bored and sleep quickly i am more of visual learner but i need to practise cpp real world project

[hot sluice]

Certain approaches to learning make you sleepy. Like if you stop understanding what's going on (because the author used some terms you don't know or whatever), but you try to continue reading anyway without figuring it out, that sometimes happens 😛

But anyway, if videos work ok for you, continue with videos I guess?

[dry leaf]

ok sure but if i don't understadning i can raise my doubts hear right

[hot sluice]

Ofc

[dry leaf]

thanks
