I'm having issues running C++ code that uses LAPACK? Should I download necessary LAPACK libraries/packages from MSYS2 and then save the corresponding .dll files in the same directory as the 'path variable' (i.e., the same directory as the compiler)?

@tarik_hello 5 ай бұрын

While I am unfamiliar with LAPACK, the tutorial specifically mentions how to setup a compiler from MinGW. If the compiler you are trying to setup is not well known, you may need to have the extension detect it manually using the “Select IntelliSense Configuration” command as VS Code may not recognize it as a valid compiler. Could you please provide more information about LAPACK?

If you are not seeing the compiler in the drop-down from the command, it is likely that you need to revisit the steps to correctly set your path environment variable. Make sure it is pointing to the proper “bin” folder

There are a few reasons why this could be the case but first revisit the steps you need to set the compiler in your path environment variable. Make sure you are pointing your path environment variable toward the bin folder. Without the compiler being found in your PATH VS Code will not be able to find your compiler.

I've only got 14 files when installing the MinGW then when I check my files through command prompt the file "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What do I need to do? It also pops up in the edit environment variables. I did it twice. Once I've gotten ucrt64, then ucrt64/bin. still the files didn't show in the command prompt.

yours's said it has 58 files when installing...

You may need to re-run the installer with administrator privileges. Usually, if you have an issue acquiring the files you need, your machine is not giving the application permission to install them.

@@jezreelchavez4583 this is most like due to an issue with setting the compiler in your PATH environment variable. Could you try revisiting that step and see if that changes anything?
