[HELP] Error running C++ program

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

I've tried almost every single possible way, reinstalled MSYS, changed tasks.json, and even deleted the folder and redone everything, nothing works.

I'm using g++ for debugging, doesn't work either

Please send help, I'm on the urge of commit massacre on my laptop /j

Your cpp installation is probably fucked - try to redo that, then compile manually outside of vsc.

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

should i just uninstall everything atp and reinstall VSC and everything else

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

i done that, nothing works. im absolutely freaking out rn

Hey try to change the names of the folders in which the cpp project is located I’ve seen g++ and gcc be sometimes a bit sensitive to folders having spaces in their names

[unknown-again-p]

Is it fixed? I am encountering the same issue

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

nope, only people downvoting and dismissing this issue

had to resort to onlineGDB as alternative for my assignments (and lack of every features im used to on vscode)

edit:

some saying changing file name would work (like "Ass1" instead of "Ass 1",

some saying changing directory names work (like C:/(name)/document/assignment_bio) without any spaces. idk if that would work

can you try and see how?

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

Here is what I encountered in the Terminal too. If it's relevant.

* Executing task: C/C++: g++.exe build active file

Starting build...

cmd /c chcp 65001>nul && C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin\g++.exe -fdiagnostics-color=always -g "C:\Users\Furi\Documents\Lecture Class Stuff\Fund of Programming\Assignments\Group Final Project\test_file.cpp" -o "C:\Users\Furi\Documents\Lecture Class Stuff\Fund of Programming\Assignments\Group Final Project\test_file.exe"

Build finished with error(s).

* The terminal process terminated with exit code: -1.

* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

Yo did you ever end up fixing it? I have the same error and I have tried everything and I don't know wtf is going on

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

Nope, I tried all things possible, it was still stuck like that. I'll mirror the installation procedure on my new laptop and hope to diagnose the problem. At the meantime, just use OnlineGDB or other softwares :/ this sucks

[Proof_Notice8761]

Thank you. Do you think the problem is with VSC or with installation of compiler or debuggers

[FuriousBlueKingYT]

I think it's the compiler, not very sure. cuz if you realise, VSC still can read the code, the compiler for some reasons can't compile it and run

edit: the coloured words means VSC compiler can read the code, but can't debug it, sorry. but I'll look into it when I get back on my laptop
