Problem Compiling c++ Code With SLD2 From VS Code - c++

Question

I'm just getting started with c++ and I can't seem to get c++ to compile with SDL2. I am using VS code and MinGW. I have copied the include files from the SDL2 download and the lib files into their respective folders in the mingw64 folder (as according to step 1-5 of this - https://www.caveofprogramming.com/c-for-complete-beginners/setting-up-sdl-windows.html). The code the vs code runs when I "run build task" is below.
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/g++.exe -fdiagnostics-color=always -g C:\Users\lucya\Downloads\c++\programmingcave\cave.cpp -o C:\Users\lucya\Downloads\c++\programmingcave\cave.exe
I am trying to build some basic code I copy and pasted which is below.
#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
// Start SDL2
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
// Create a Window in the middle of the screen
SDL_Window *window = 0;
window = SDL_CreateWindow("Hello World!",
SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
640, 480,
SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
// Delay so that we can see the window appear
SDL_Delay(2000);
// Cleanup and Quit
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
However, This is what comes up when I "run build task":

Build finished with error(s).
Does anyone know what my error is or how to fix it? If you need any other information please just ask! I have spent 2 days trying to get this to work so any help is useful.
Thanks!
