Now create a new file called helloworld.cpp with the New File button in the File Explorer or File > New File command.
#C BUILDER CODE#
opens VS Code in the current folder): mkdir HelloWorld cd HelloWorld code. To make sure the compiler is installed and configured correctly, we'll create the simplest Hello World C++ program.Ĭreate a folder called "HelloWorld" and open VS Code in that folder ( code. If you don't see the expected output or g++ or gdb is not a recognized command, make sure your PATH entry matches the Mingw-w64 binary location where the compiler tools are located. To check that your Mingw-w64 tools are correctly installed and available, open a new Command Prompt and type: g++ -version gdb -version You will need to reopen any console windows for the new PATH location to be available.
#C BUILDER INSTALL#
If you used the settings above to install Mingw-w64, then add this to the path: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin. The exact path depends on which version of Mingw-w64 you have installed and where you installed it.
#C BUILDER DOWNLOAD#
Click here to download the MSYS2 installer. We will install Mingw-w64 via MSYS2, which provides up-to-date native builds of GCC, Mingw-w64, and other helpful C++ tools and libraries. If you are running VS Code on another platform, you can read the C++ tutorials, which cover C++ configurations for Linux and macOS. MinGW is a popular, free toolset for Windows.
#C BUILDER HOW TO#
If you don't have a compiler installed, in the example below, we describe how to install the Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) C++ tools (compiler and debugger).
#C BUILDER FULL#
Note: If you would prefer a full Integrated Development Environment (IDE), with built-in compilation, debugging, and project templates (File > New Project), there are many options available, such as the Visual Studio Community edition. You can check availability of your C++ tools by opening the Integrated Terminal ( ⌃` (Windows, Linux Ctrl+`)) in VS Code and trying to directly run the compiler.Ĭhecking for the GCC compiler g++: g++ -versionĬhecking for the Clang compiler clang: clang -version Make sure your compiler executable is in your platform path ( %PATH on Windows, $PATH on Linux and macOS) so that the C/C++ extension can find it.

Most Linux distributions have the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) installed and macOS users can get the Clang tools with Xcode. Some platforms, such as Linux or macOS, have a C++ compiler already installed. Check with your instructors or colleagues for guidance on installing the recommended C++ toolset (compiler, debugger, project system, linter). There may already be a C++ compiler and debugger provided by your academic or work development environment. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer. The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. VS Code is first and foremost an editor, and relies on command-line tools to do much of the development workflow.
