Replace "gcc.exe" with whatever compiler you're using, e.g. "g++.exe", "clang-5.0.exe", etc. -- just make sure the file is a valid Windows executable (not a 0 size symlink).

For Cygwin, set the`compilerPath` to the appropriate Cygwin path, e.g. "C:/cygwin64/bin/g++.exe".

If it seems like the`compilerPath` is not getting used, you can debug the issue via[enabling logging](Enabling%20logging.md).

If you have an older version of the C/C++ extension installed, use[these instructions](Archive/MinGW.md) instead.
