Issue
I was initially facing the error during running a server code for go lang and the error in the import lines of the code
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka")
The error it was thrown was to check for executable gcc in the %PATH% variable
# github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka
cgo: C compiler "gcc" not found: exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
To rectify this i have installed MinGW gcc compiler and include in the path Checked it in the terminal
g++ (tdm64-1) 10.3.0

This throwing the same error can anyone please tell me how to rectify this in windows 10.
EDIT:
This was resolved by restarting the terminal The issue was even after restarting the terminal in Visual code the path variable was not set so just used plain old powershell to run the script.
