How to run c/c++ on code-server

[rlarudqls630]

Hi
I am currently running code-server on ubuntu inside windows 10 using fairy new feature of windows 10.

In this setup I was not able to compile c/c++.
However, running java and python on the server is no problem.

It is giving me an error saying that I need to download the c/c++ compiler, but it seems like vscode original extension is not an option.

Can someone please help me to compile c/c++ on code-server.

Thank you.

You need the `gcc` and `g++` packages(`sudo apt update && sudo apt install gcc g++ -y`) and then use the GCC compiler.

How do i use gcc compiler?
Never used that before.
I am pretty new to c/c++ programing.
Thank you

I kinda think it's like this:

$ gcc file.c file

You can try a Google search to check it out or since you are on Windows,
you can get the Turbo C Compiler. But it has one issue, it locks your
cursor like these games like Minecraft, the only way to break out of it is
to use the Alt+Tab method to free your cursor.

Thank you
I'll try!!

I tried it and it worked but output file is broken.

It says unsupported text encoding.
Do I need another extension to see the output?

Sorry for bothering.

Nah, try the same code on Turbo C Compiler on Windows, on Linux, some imports failed, like the CONIO always failed, but on Turbo C it works.

Thank you.
I found other way to see the output!!
I used
$./a.out

Ah that's the way, thought I missed something.
