Note: many of the above versions 3.4.5 are GCC version numbers. The actual folder should prevail.

Open a cmd now.

Create a new test. cpp File
The content is as follows:
# Include <iostream>
Using namespace STD;
Int main (INT argc, char ** argv)

Return 0;
}
Enter the compilation command under cmd.
G ++-O test. cpp
This time it was successful if nothing was seen.

Access test.exe
Have you seen the following information?
