As per the error in the screenshot attached.

VSCodium cant build cpp

My workaround has been to relocate the project folder to a part of the directory tree with a folder name that doesn't contain a '&'.

As an Info: In unix shell '&' likewise as ' ' are special characters and should be avoided if possible.

Note: This also fails with MSVC

Note: Have not found a solution that works on all OS and compiler combinations.

I will add this as a note in the README and will close this issue. Just dont use whitespaces and special characters in filenames :)
