I am trying to use vs code

Specify where, in the includePath?

yes, you said that... Are you pressing "F5" to compile? Are you using the built-in console? Are you using the build command?

yes don't specify any

Yes, I am pressing f5, after I click it it shows me this error: error exist after running prelaunchtask c/c++ cpp.exe build active file. When I click it in the terminal shows: executing task: ... \bin\cpp.exe -g 'd:\path to file\file.cpp' -o 'd:\path to file\file.exe'

yes don't specify any

g++ -o file.exe file.cpp

The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command D:\Programas\mingw\bin\cpp.exe -g 'd:\path to file\file.cpp' -o 'd:\path to file\file.exe'" terminated with exit code: 1.

The thing is, I can't really help you without know more context. To use #include <> you probably need to modify your compilers include path. I assume you use g++ and have it in your path. Inside the .vscode folder create a tasks.json with the following content { // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558 // for the documentation about the tasks.json format "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "label": "buildCustomIncludePath", "type": "shell", "command": "<your command, see below>", "problemMatcher": [], "group": { "kind": "build", "isDefault": true } } ] } To make sure this works you can use "g++ *.cpp -I <your include path> -o output.exe" as your command. ———————————- Assuming you have .vscode/launch.json, change the preLaunchTask to the name of your build config (buildCustomIncludePath in the example above)

the error is above (if exists) scroll up

is the same error as if I compile without specify in the c_cpp_properties.json In file included from d:\path to file\file.cpp:3: d:\path to file\cpr/cpr.h:4:10: fatal error: cpr/api.h: No such file or directory 4 | #include "cpr/api.h"

isn't source code directory included by default?

using #include "cpr should do the trick if cpr is in the same folder, yes.

he has it in cpr folder problem is windows won't accept '/' as directory

the cpp_properties.json should be completely unrelated to the compilation, it's basically only for intellisense

I changed my tasks.json to: { "tasks": [ { "type": "shell", "label": "C/C++: cpp.exe build active file", "command": "g++ *.cpp -I cpr/ -o output.exe", "options": { "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}" }, "problemMatcher": [ "$gcc" ], "group": { "kind": "build", "isDefault": true } } ], "version": "2.0.0" }

Simplify life. Switch to CMake

/ban JET TO THE VOID!

I tried to use it with the visual studio 2019 but it so difficult, it also shows me errors!!!!

Sad

Why my codeblock can not suggest Auto complete. Although code completion is marked

It tells me this error: Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)

THis should be EASYYY why it is so difficult to me to compile!

It tells me this error: Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)

I don't know how your setup looks like and what you're doing. Can you compile from the command line?

With: g++ *.cpp -I cpr/ -o output.exe ??

With: g++ *.cpp -I cpr/ -o output.exe ??

Provide the two variables manually

Why my codeblock can not suggest Auto complete. Although code completion is marked

in general

What two variables?? I opened vs code 2019, select my folder and click here:

What do you mean with in general?

CURL_LIBRARY and CURL_INCLUDE_DIR

are you able to compile the project from a command line?

btw - this works out of the box

use cmake & cmake tools for vsc

How?

user mode is fine. your compiler complains about curl tho. are the curl header installed on your system?

I can use curl in cmd, I don't know if that is what you mean. I downloaded a folder with .h files from github, that should work?

use cmake & cmake tools for vsc

that extension is awesome, if you know how to use and write cmake

When I put the curl folder now the error is: no such file or directory #include "cpr/api.h"

I downloaded the github repository, unzipped, and put the cpr folder which is inside the include folder.

I copied the cpr folder to the same directory which contains the file.cpp

And how should I use the library???
