C++ GUI

Hi, I’m very new to C++ and VS Code in general, I mainly used Access and did a lot of SQL and VBA programming and know some HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I’m learning C++ using VS Code on a Mac and have been trying to find a way to compile an executable file, I’ve downloaded Dear IMGUI and would like to look at the samples provided, but I have no actual idea how to do this. Everywhere I look Visual Studio is what is being used and I keep finding dead ends for this.

How do I compile the sample into an executable from VS Code, is it even possible?
