Visual Studio Code Extension: "Code Runner" does not compile C

Question

I’m trying to run a code on C in the Visual Studio Code with the extent Code Runner but I’m not getting it. I’ve installed the Mingw correctly, I can verify it in cmd via

g++ --version

But I still can not run C in Vscode. I know that VS is not the most indicated but wanted to centralize my work in a single editor.

The message that appears when I try to run is the following:

[Running] cd "c:\Users\henrique\Documents\_minhas-coisas\_Faculdade\TesteVSCode\C\" &&
             gcc first.c -o first && 
             "c:\Users\henrique\Documents\_minhas-coisas\_Faculdade\TesteVSCode\C\"first
             'gcc' n�o � reconhecido como um comando interno
             ou externo, um programa oper�vel ou um arquivo em lotes.

[Done] exited with code=1 in 0.188 seconds

The First is the name of arquivo.c

Answer 1

Create an environment variable in PATH with the way to the gcc. PATH is a system variable used by the operating system to locate executables that will be used by command line.

Follow the instructions:

System → Config. Advanced of the System → Variables of Environment → Add the variable in question to the path
