For people who get an error: "make : The term 'make' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program." Do this: 1. Make sure you've got MinGW installed. 2. Add MinGW to your system path. 3. Instead of "make" use: "MinGW32-make"
Nice. I'm a non-ide kinda developer and found #1 & #2 tutorial very helpful getting a compile to work in VS. Instead of editing the Makefile SRCDIR, you can also drag/drop the main.cpp into the src directory and then complie/run.
@Domingo Goyena - Glad it was helpful! Yes, good mention you could simply leave it in the root/base directory and it will successfully compile. The only reason I did was for a little bit of structure =)
what if I send these file to another computer, when they do not use the same path for example in your case is /home/savvynik/...///... in my case savvynik can be different name.
Also having the same g++: fatal error: no input files and can't figure out why there is .cpp file after -Wall and before -o test. Kept redoing the tutorial from scratch and can't put my finger on it. Edit: It was as simple as making sure your directories and file names have no spaces at all. Problem solved!
So loving your content and am glad i ran into your channel. I would love to know if running g++ name-of-file.cpp -o nameOfProgram the same as running make according to your video.
@SavvyNik i get problem when i make MakeFile i shows: g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -o Tera g++: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. Makefile:36: recipe for target 'Tera' failed make: *** [Tera] Error 1 help..
@Mandeep singh - I'm not sure how you have your makefile setup. If you followed the steps you should have VSC generate a makefile for you. All your cpp files should be located in a "src" folder and that's where the generated makefile will look at and compile every cpp file it finds. The compiler is telling you that there's no cpp files specified to compile. Meaning g++ -o . To me it looks like you have a switch called -Wall which I'm not sure what that does but then you have an output file called Tera yet you don't have any cpp (objects) specified to be compiled in front of that.
@jankk 04 - Is there a reason you're trying to include these two header files? I assume you're trying to create your own code and not following the series because these two are not referenced.
@jankk 04 - Ahh okay, well thanks for letting me know and for the kind remarks!! Make sure to destroy that like button for me if you haven't already ^^
@@SavvyNik hey I got the same error . But you can make it go away by making sure that the SRCDIR in MakeFile is set to src . Make sure that you have all your .cpp in the src folder. The common rule is to start by ctrl+shift+p -> make INIT Project -> C++ Project before writing any code. Then start with main.cpp in the src folder created for you.
Hey! I've tried to do the same on Win10 but failed. Is there any instrument for Wn10 that can do the same? How to configure this extention for WIn10? Thanks!
I assume you installed the make binaries somewhere on your computer. You will need to add the directory where the binaries are located to your environmental path and that should be it.
@@SavvyNik You are magical! It works beautifully. I was building a C++ project in which I have 3 separate files: the header file, the implementation file, and the client file, and I was not able to get it to work until I watched this video and downloaded make. Many thanks! I will be watching your videos more often.
I don't personally have one. Mainly you would want to install make and build tools on windows put them in your env path and then you should have a similar process.
@@SavvyNik Thanks a lot for your reply ! tbh that is what I have been trying to do, could you kindly link me to where I could download 'make' from, I have tried GnuWin32 and updated Path to the \bin folder, After that, the Command Line recognizes 'make' as I use it. But, when it comes to building project, as you have shown in the video, it just gives me a bunch of errors, I know that comments are not meant for troubleshooting, etc. However I would really appreciate if you could point me towards the right direction in this case. Thanks a lot, very helpful video, you got a sub.
UPDATE: Never-Fn-Mind, it works perfectly on windows, I did literally nothing different on windows, I went back and read more about make files and made my own simple make files and played around with it and I realized it gives an error if I have more than one Make file even in a subdirectory where I have opened my project folder in VS Code, which was my issue, so went back and created a new fresh folder and did the exact steps you did on Linux on my Windows 10 Machine and it works perfect ! P.S I ended up installing Chocolaty from shell and used that package manager to install make, make.exe is now integrated to all my terminals but I am not sure where exactly the file is at but Chocolaty gives a log to find it after you install 'Make' if you want. I am really excited to start creating folders and organise my header and implementation files on VS Code as its my Favourite, really thank you so much !

@David Martinez - No problem, that's interesting. I'm wonder if you're missing a package which comes standard with most linux distributions called "build-essential". Are you using some linux distro?

@Vitaly Lev - Are you sure you don't have an extension that only applies that rule for c/cpp files because it's a c++ extension? Variables are defined differently in a makefile because they don't follow the same programming syntax as c++. It has it's own unique structure.

@@nileshwalhekar6165 Ahh you want generate compilation in multiple directories/folders. Yes there's a way, but it's not simple to explain. You would have to modify the makefile to do this.

Your windows machine doesn't have make installed on it. I assume you don't have the gcc tools either. You'll have to install make and add it to your environmental variables path. Here's a vid for gcc - th-cam.com/video/hCLIDph7-mU/w-d-xo.html
thanks for replying. I did install MingW before but i found out in the bin folder, there's no make.exe file so i have to create one by copy from mingw32-make and it worked out
Thanks for the awesome video! Just one question. Under the SRCDIR path in the make file, do I have to type /home/name/projectfolder? Or can I type ~/projecfolder to make it simpler?
No problem, glad you enjoyed it and make sure to smash that like button for me on the vid if you haven't already. I like to stick with absolute paths so the system has no chance of getting it wrong. I'm not sure if it knows the alias for ~ I would assume it does because it runs Linux, but you never know when a certain symbol is not allowed. Great question.
SavvyNik ok I’ll keep that in mind. I was just wondering in case I ever moved the project to a different computer. And thank you for the quick reply! Glad I found you videos and love your channel so far! Keep up the good work!
@SERO - Sure use a while loop and check for a condition or just do: while(1) { //your statements } That'll make an infinite loop and keep executing whatever is inside or you can use a sleep if you use #include then sleep(3) - that would sleep for 3 seconds. What are you trying to accomplish w/o your program closing immediately? Do you want the user to select an option to quit? If you keep watching the series I actually show a function that does just that.
@@dera0374 - Ahh well a cheap way to do that then is to use cin >> someVariable; That will force the program to have to wait for an input from the user before continuing and all you need to do is define someVariable like int someVariable; of course it won't matter what you're supplying to the terminal you could just press enter to continue, but I think that would give you the result you are looking for =)
After installing vs code, I was able to use makefile created by Makefile project. Then it won't create makefile in another directory. Anyone knows what happened?
@Aravind Doss - As long as you have some version of C++ installed and it's available to your environmental variables (windows) or ld_library_path (linux) then the system should have access to the proper libraries and be able to access them. gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html

@@SavvyNik I was able to solve it by simply using g++ *.cpp to compile everything. I have a question though. Why is my terminal opening outside vscode? I want it like yours and many others who have it embedded within vscode..how do I do that? I can't find a single video over that..
@@TheGreatKhan well that's great. Didn't realize you could do that lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure why your terminal is opening outside of vscode. That's not the default function.

Hello Nik,
Nice explanation!
Query: If I created folder "TrialProj" under SIMPLELIST, when I do make all files get created in Parent folder is it any way to select particular folder to create Make files.
Thanks in advance :)
Sure there is you can specify the folder that you want to get built in the make file. Look for something called "src" in the config for the make.
@@SavvyNik yes that I understand, but is there any way when we give make command folder will get generat (src, obj, Make) into sud directory instead of parent directory?
@@nileshwalhekar6165 Ahh you want generate compilation in multiple directories/folders. Yes there's a way, but it's not simple to explain. You would have to modify the makefile to do this. Here are some examples: stackoverflow.com/questions/1139271/makefiles-with-source-files-in-different-directories

@@SavvyNik Thanks 🙏
@@nileshwalhekar6165 you're welcome. Make sure to smash that like button for me on the vid.
make in windows doesn't work,could you have a solution of my problem?
@Mariam Albarghouti - You'll have to download make and install it for windows. Here's the official website: gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
They have an executable you can download the option called "Complete package, except sources" for the windows exe setup.
Thanks 💙
@@SavvyNik How do I intall it? I installed it but it still doesnt work?
@@RowanPlayZ - You ran through the installer and then restarted your computer? Just make sure you are in the proper directory before issuing make. A makefile must exist in the directory.
@@SavvyNik Hello, I installed "make", restarted, and i opened terminal in the same directory as the .cpp and makefile.
I get an error: The term 'make' is not recognized. Could you help me please? I have been trying to run C++ and compile it, following different tutorials... but everytime i get this same error " " is not recognized. running win10
Thanks
make : The term 'make' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Your windows machine doesn't have make installed on it. I assume you don't have the gcc tools either. You'll have to install make and add it to your environmental variables path. Here's a vid for gcc - th-cam.com/video/hCLIDph7-mU/w-d-xo.html
thanks for replying. I did install MingW before but i found out in the bin folder, there's no make.exe file so i have to create one by copy from mingw32-make and it worked out
@@yukirii awesome to hear. Congrats and glad you got it figured out and fixed. Make sure to smash that like button for me if you haven't already.
Thanks for the awesome video! Just one question. Under the SRCDIR path in the make file, do I have to type /home/name/projectfolder?
Or can I type ~/projecfolder to make it simpler?
No problem, glad you enjoyed it and make sure to smash that like button for me on the vid if you haven't already. I like to stick with absolute paths so the system has no chance of getting it wrong. I'm not sure if it knows the alias for ~ I would assume it does because it runs Linux, but you never know when a certain symbol is not allowed. Great question.
SavvyNik ok I’ll keep that in mind. I was just wondering in case I ever moved the project to a different computer. And thank you for the quick reply! Glad I found you videos and love your channel so far! Keep up the good work!
@@jscorpio1987 Of course, and thanks for the kind remarks! Glad to have you following the channel.
@SavvyNik is there a way to stop my .exe application closing immediately? Thanks for considering my request.
@SERO - Sure use a while loop and check for a condition or just do:
while(1) {
//your statements
}
That'll make an infinite loop and keep executing whatever is inside or you can use a sleep if you use #include then sleep(3) - that would sleep for 3 seconds. What are you trying to accomplish w/o your program closing immediately? Do you want the user to select an option to quit? If you keep watching the series I actually show a function that does just that.
@@SavvyNik I am actaully just trying to read what the program prints out.
just tried your sleep code suggestion, .exe won't open now :(
@@dera0374 - Ahh well a cheap way to do that then is to use cin >> someVariable; That will force the program to have to wait for an input from the user before continuing and all you need to do is define someVariable like int someVariable; of course it won't matter what you're supplying to the terminal you could just press enter to continue, but I think that would give you the result you are looking for =)
@@dera0374 - Get rid of the sleep and try my latest suggestion =D
After installing vs code, I was able to use makefile created by Makefile project. Then it won't create makefile in another directory. Anyone knows what happened?
how to add includes and lib?
Any quick ref to that?
@Aravind Doss - As long as you have some version of C++ installed and it's available to your environmental variables (windows) or ld_library_path (linux) then the system should have access to the proper libraries and be able to access them. gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html
does the procedure here is applicable in windows too?
Yes

Not so helpful for people using windows. Guess I'll have to spend a $1000 on a mac so I can just freaking get my university projects done with ease AT LEAST...People keep saying how amazing Visual Studio is. IT SUCKS....It can't even do large projects and only runs one .cpp file....
Why couldn't you use a makefile on Windows? There's options to install Make on Windows as well. Worst case don't bother spending extra money purchasing a Mac when you could install a Linux operating system for free.
@@SavvyNik I was able to solve it by simply using g++ *.cpp to compile everything. I have a question though. Why is my terminal opening outside vscode? I want it like yours and many others who have it embedded within vscode..how do I do that? I can't find a single video over that..
@@TheGreatKhan well that's great. Didn't realize you could do that lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure why your terminal is opening outside of vscode. That's not the default function. You should be able to go to view->terminal inside vscode and that should launch a terminal inside vscode. code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal
SavvyNik Don’t worry about that! Got it fixed. Had to turn the contpy off. But yes google should seriously include g++ *.cpp for everyone out there to see lol
@@TheGreatKhan lol yeah kind of blows my mind. I'll have to try this later. Makes things much easier.
