Newly downloaded gcc throws some weird error-CodePudding

I recently downloaded gcc and g compiler using MinGW and tried a simple hello world printing file in c. Whenever I run the code using visual studio code(using the code-runner extension made by jun han), I run into the following error:

C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../libmingw32.a(setargv.o):(.text 0x33): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms'

NOTE: I HAVE SEEN THE POST BY YUNUS

CodePudding user response：

add gcc path to you envionment variables

CodePudding user response：

3.4.5, is that the version? That's very old!

Which MinGW were you using exactly?

I recommend using MinGW-w64 as it's more up to date.

You can get a standalone build from https://winlibs.com/

As for your errors, they are related to stack protection settings. Make sure you don't have different MinGW's in your system or referred to by environment variables like PATH.
