Error output
Auto-detected: MinGW / C compiler missing
● Diagnosis
Known issue
Your computer can't find the C compiler
You ran a compile command, but Windows doesn't know where GCC is installed on your hard drive. Once you install the compiler toolchain and register its folder in your PATH setting, this will run cleanly.
Step 1: Install MSYS2 with winget
Run in terminal
winget install -e --id MSYS2.MSYS2
Step 2: Add compiler directory to PATH
Final step
C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin
