Installing External Library in VS code is impossible

I started coding in mobile in Python language using pyroid3. I had built some basic easy apps like ticktaktoe, calculator and a simple eating game(kivy Library).

After getting introduced to programming languages i got to know that C++ is best for 3D graphics handling and High NPC manage. So i wanted shieft to this language. It took me less than a day to learn basic C++ working and i also practiced those basics inside Cxxdroid.

I finally got a desktop computer 10 days ago. And installed vs code. But man even installing vs code was harder. Then Installing C++ was even harder. And now i am trying to install SDL3 Library inside VS code which i still haven't been successful. It has been 7 days since i started trying to figure it out.

Do any of you have any solution or suggestions??

I will become a mad man if I won't figure it out.
