  • You have passed the wrong options to the compiler, specifically `-mwindows`. The error indicates that the compiler thinks you are trying to build a Windows GUI program, but your code indicates that you are trying to build a console program. Remove `-mwindows` from your command line. – john Jan 25 '21 at 07:52
  • Can you tell me how to do this in VS code – Aniket Tiwari Jan 25 '21 at 08:07
  • I'm not familiar with mingw in VSCode, but you need to edit the part of tasks.json where the mingw compiler options are. – john Jan 25 '21 at 08:10
  • If you can't figure it out then you should post tasks.json as part of the question. – john Jan 25 '21 at 08:14
