Answer 13

Download minGW and configure your PATH so you can use it through the terminal in VS Code.

Since you're on Windows, you may also want to consider downloading Visual Studio (which, despite the similar name, is much more than a text editor that VS Code is), especially if you're into developing large projects specifically for the Windows platform. Visual Studio is a full-fledged IDE with editing tools, a compiler, debugging and performance analysis tools.
