Could you please look into this issue...i just created a project and trying to build this is what it is showing. i am new to the environment please dont mind

Executing task: powershell -c mingw32-make <

g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -g -Iinclude -o output\main.exe src/main.o -Llib
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, echo Executing all complete!, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:68: all] Error 2
The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command powershell -c mingw32-make" terminated with exit code: 1.

Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

You might try to replace your current makefile with this new version:
https://github.com/danielpinto8zz6/c-cpp-project-generator/blob/97a6d0d0fc73cf4da09fe9f2eeb69c19faed4c58/templates/cpp/Makefile

Please, let me know if it helps!

After the execution this is the output, may i know why is this causing, is this due to mingw folder or any other issue.

thank you for your patience.

That usually happens because you don't have a file called "buildmain.exe" available to make. Check that:

that file exists.
you're in the right directory when you make.
