I'm trying to install and check MinGW for debugging in MSVSCode.
I have run the MinGW installation Manager(mingw-get) GUI to install MinGW. I installed the following:
- mingw-developer-toolkit-bin
- mingw32-base-bin
- mingw32-gcc-g++-bin
- mingw32-gcc-objc-bin
- msys-base-bin
and I have verified that it is working, as follows:-
C:\MinGW\bin>g++ --version
g++ <MinGW.org GCC-8.2.0-5> 8.2.0

If I type
C:\Users>gcc -v
I receive the error message
'gcc' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
However, If I type
C:\Users>set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
and then I write
C:\Users>gcc -v
Then I get...
Using built-in specs.

However, only for as long as this command console window is open.
My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit Operating System.
Is there any way to get this working so that I don't need to write set PATH each time, and so that it works in MSVSCode?
Any help advice much appreciated
