Cant find any easy way to compile c++ projects under g++ in visual studio 2019. All I can find are tutorials for Visual Studio Code, not the full Visual Studio.

You can use a Linux emulator on your Windows machine like Cygwin or WSL to compile and run your programs (along with gaining access to other Linux terminal features).

You'll just have to set up the environment and install the packages you want (in your case, gcc-g++).

    This doesn't seem to answer the question (which is how to use g++ inside Visual Studio), unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying – M.M Jan 27 '20 at 02:00

As far as I know, you can add g++ in External Tools.
