gcc is not recognized as a command in the vscode terminal - c

When I try to run some very basic code(literally 5 lines) I get the error: "'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file." mingw is installed and added to path and when I type gcc --version in cmd everything is fine. I'm using the VSCode editor and I'm running Windows 10.

Try to restart VSCode. I know that if you add/remove anything from PATH and VSCode was already running, you need to re-launch it for any PATH changes to work.

Cannot run C codes on vscode

I have installed VScode and gitbash this afternoon on my Windows to pull and push C scripts for a project.
Everything is working fine but i can't run my scripts on the GitBash shell (error is : ..../main.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
neither on the PowerShell (compiling but returning nothing when I try to execute the exe file).
If i open a CMD window it's working fine.
I installed the 'code runner' extension to execute the code in one click, but i always get this error :
[Done] exited with code=3221225781 in 0.43 seconds
I already tried to execute the command line that the extension uses :
cd "c:\Users\....\" && gcc main.c -o main && "c:\....\"main
on an external cmd window and it's working fine
I also have MinGW in PATH.
Thank you
I fixed it by downloading "msvcr71.dll" and putting it into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and C:\Windows\System32

New to C: Compiling in Visual Studio Code... error: gcc not recognized?

I am very new to coding (trying to teach myself C). I have some experience with MatLab, but I understand it is very different from C. I have Windows 10 with the newest version of Visual Studio Code (VSC) with the Run Code Extension and git extension (not sure what git does, but VSC prompted me to install). I am now familiar with the text editor, but do not know how to compile/run my code (apologies if I'm butchering the terminology, again, a newby). One friend recommended I determine the location in which the desired text file is located, type "gcc filename.c", enter, type "./a.out", and then the program should run. (Said friend has a Mac and I supposed the execution commands are different?) Regardless, I encountered "Run Code" extension on my google adventures and follow the steps I've seen online, but I am still getting the error pictured.
I can see how this would be an especially basic question, but if anyone can offer assistance/advice, I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks, All.

P.S. In case the image doesn't load/work for whatever reason, this is the error:
"'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Works perfect in Visual Code. You need the following:
C/C++ extension in Visual Code.
msys64 installed in C:\
Add path to msys64 bin folder in environment variable
Instructions:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
Important the msys64 path doesn't contain spaces so don't install it in Program Files.
You can search "Edit system environment variables" from the windows button, press button Environment Variables, and then add it as a System variable "Path". For me its located in
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
Hey,,,
It will work for you I believe
Blockquote
First: open the link: https://www.msys2.org/
Go to the installation and download the installer .. install the exe file.
search mingw in windows search(windows start)
there is an app named--> MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit
run it as administrator
Found command shell ---> type: pacman -Syu
Will ask you for some installation click on Y
Then again go to the same app MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit and run as admin
and write--> pacman -Ss gcc (in shell that opend after click)
after clicking there will be bunch of things and now you have to care about your windows arch.. if it is 64 bit then write---> pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc (and if its 32 you will find something like that where 64 will replaced by 32 in bunch of commands that are showing in your shell)
after executing this command gcc will be installed in your system to check write: gcc --version || g++ --version
After that to install the debugger write pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
to check write: gdb --version
**Every thing got installed in your system now find the mingW file or mysys2 file on C drive(whereever you r mingW file got saved) go the the minGW 64 || 32 accroding to your operating system there is a bin folder click on that and copy the path inside the bin folder and save it in environment variables path **

Enjoy vs code
My recommendation
You are on Windows right? So you can just install Visual Studio IDE (follow this tutorial). Which is better than vs code. This tutorial is for C++ but it works for C as well. Because C++ uses the same compiler as C but with some more things(simple explanation).
The solution for your problem
You are getting the massage 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file because you do not have the gcc compiler installed on your computer. But if you want to install it, you can follow this tutorial. But I highly recommend you use Visual Studio IDE which I mentioned above.
Type gcc --version in the command prompt to check whether the C compiler is installed in your machine.
If it is installed then try adding gcc to the environment variables using this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLh84CmdBJ0
If it is not installed then install it using instructions using this link:
https://www.guru99.com/c-gcc-install.html
and then add it to the environment variables using the link above.
If it is installed and not recognized by VSCode then try to run VSCode from CMD by typing code in CMD.

Failed to use "cl" even after environment variable set

So i'm trying to compile my helloworld.c file on my desktop using cl under "Administer: Developer Command Prompt for VS2015".
I figure it's environment var problem by doing some Google, and follow the link below to set it. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1700bbwd.aspx)
But after i found and ran the VSVARS32 file under
"Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools",
i still can't use my cl command, showing that
"'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Please help me, any suggestions would be appreciated

tcc in not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I am trying to run a C program through a command prompt on Windows 7 but getting an error
tcc in not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Can you please guide me on how do i get rid from this error?
In order to get rid from this issue, follow these steps to execute C program from command prompt on windows7
First, install tcc from here
Then add the path ;c:/tcc in PATH like this
In the last step, go in folder where the C file exactly located by typing cd [directoryname] and type tcc [filename.c], it will create a application or standalone file for that.

How do I run Testacular on Windows?

Working on Windows (x86 version, not cygwin)
I was able to install Testacular
npm list -g
C:\Users\myName\AppData\Roaming\npm
└─┬ testacular#0.4.0
etc....
But when I run testacular get ...
'testacular' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I have tried adding bin to path..
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\myName\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\testacular\bin
but it doesn't work, there does not appear to be an executeable or batch file (testacular.bat, testacular.exe)
What am I missing?
Michael
You should use testacular.cmd :-)
In the command prompt, simply type testacular.cmd instead of just testacular. You must do the same for many node modules on windows.
