Directory is missing or inaccessible.

Sorry if this is already an issue, I couldn't find anything similar, anyway, error:

Launching: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\dinonuggies\C++\codewars\descend\main
‌​... an error occured, unknown error

Possible cause: the working directory "\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\dinonuggies\C++\codewars\descend" is missing or inaccessible.

The directory does in fact exist, as you can probably tell I'm using WSL to compile my C++ code, I'm using MingW to compile to Windows for the debugger, moving the executable to my C:\ drive doesn't work either, it seems giving it a directory that exists gives me the error above, and giving it a directory that doesn't exist give me this error: ... an error occured, unable to find executable for '<directory+main.exe>'.

Note that this is "a possible cause". There may be other reasons, but unfortunately LLDB does not provide granular information about failed launches.
Are you trying to debug an ELF binary with Windows CodeLLDB? This won't work, as Windows can run/debug only Win32 PE/COFF binaries. Try VSCode remoting into the WSL subsystem, which would then use a Linux version of CodeLLDB. Though I haven't tried this myself, reportedly, this setup works, at least with WSL2.

I'm actually using WSL1, and I am compiling for 64 bit Windows, I'll try 32 bit, idk if I'm compiling an ELF binary, this is my makefile:

all:
	g++ -o main main.cpp -Wall
	x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -o main.exe main.cpp -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -Wall

win:
	x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -o main.exe main.cpp -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -Wall

linux:
	g++ -o main main.cpp -Wall

Note: I'm running make in WSL

Alright that got me somewhere, now I get this error:

‌​Unable to start external terminal PtyProcess is not supported on Windows at the moment (try using console instead of integrated terminal in your configuration)

I have decided the easiest answer for me is to just use gdb, because I don't want to install vscode or do anything super complicating. Cheers ;)
