Gcc where ?

Question

Everytime i run a code in visual stedio it keep saying that gcc isnt recognised , what to do ?

Answer 1

Well if you are running code in visual studio(IDE) then it should not be looking for gcc.
You are most probably using VScode ( text editor ) and don't have a compiler installed on your machine to compile your source.
Here is the doc to set up your vscode for C/C++ development 👇
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp

Answer 2

Dark if gcc is installed in your system, then it would be the case where vscode is not able to find the compiler ( try updating your PATH variable with your compiler executable in it )
that doc should be covering almost every question you might encounter while setting up your editor for C/C++ development.

Answer 3

most Linux distros came with gcc/g++ pre installed. I wasn't able to use VScode in Windows . When I was trying to install the compiler, it gave me errors. But I liked VScode very much, so I learned Linux and switched to Ubuntu(A Linux distro) now I am using VScode easily.
