vscode error: ld returned 1 exit status

This error message usually appears when there is a linking error or a missing library in your code. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check for any missing libraries or dependencies in your code. Ensure that all required libraries are properly installed and linked.

2. Check for any syntax errors or typos in your code that may be causing the error.

3. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project. This can help to clear any cached files that may be causing issues.

4. Check your system environment variables to ensure that all paths are correctly set.

5. If you are using a third-party library, ensure that you have properly linked it with your code.

If none of these steps work, you may need to consult the documentation for the specific library or tool you are using to troubleshoot the issue further.
