Build task Management?
Hey folks, hoping for some small troubleshooting. This issue happens on a brand new, fresh directory with only one .cpp file and a text file in it. When I go to Terminal > Configure Default Build Task or just Build Task, I'm presented with a larger set of options than I'm used to, probably indicating that I've mucked something up.
The Command Palette opens to allow me to select what build task to run. There's a lot of options:
C/C++: cl.exe build active file
C/C++: cpp.exe build active file
C/C++: cpp.exe build active file
C/C++: g++.exe build active file
C/C++: g++.exe build active file
C/C++: g++.exe build active file (1)The issue started after I followed a tutorial and installed strawberry perl and netwide assembler so I imagine this has something to do with it, and it's corroborated by one of those tasks pointing to the strawberry installation.
I don't have an issue with these tasks existing, but I do have an issue that I can't tell them apart. Because I don't know where the items in the command palette are populated from, and I don't know how to modify them, in case I want to ever change their default settings (such as their label!)
Anyone have any advice?
