Trying to install MinGW so I can compile C++ programs in VS Code. Followed the instructions at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw to install everything.

To check if everything was installed correctly I used the commands:

gcc --version
g++ --version
gdb --version

GCC and g++ seem to be working fine, but when I tried to run gdb --version I get the following error:

C:Usersvaari>gdb --version

Have not been able to figure out how to fix it. Tried reinstalling MinGW but it didn’t change anything. Any help would be appreciated.
