fatal error: aws/core/Aws.h: No such file or directory

[noopta]

Describe the bug

I have followed this documentation here for setting up the AWS SDK with C++: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/welcome.html

However, when I try to compile a cpp file and run the command "gcc -o something test.cpp", I get the error: fatal error: aws/core/Aws.h: No such file or directory #include <aws/core/Aws.h>

What's strange is that if I ctrl + select the line #include <aws/core/Aws.h> in my cpp file, the actual Aws.h file appears, showing that it does exist on my system.

Expected Behavior

I expected the code to compile and locate the header files associated with the AWS SDK.

Current Behavior

I am getting the error message mentioned before.

Reproduction Steps

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/welcome.html

I am following these steps for the Windows setup.

I also have my test.cpp file located in sdk_build.

After installing Dynamo DB and Core, I run gcc -o something test.cpp
