title: How to solve "Could not find the task 'gcc build active file." error in VSCode?
body: <p>I've just setup <strong>VSCode</strong> to work from home with my remote <strong>SSH</strong> that runs <strong>Gentoo x64</strong>. Everything works fine apart from the <strong>GCC</strong> debugger which we usually use. It throws me the error in the title.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my <code>launch.json</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
      {
          "name": "gcc - Build and debug active file",
          "type": "cppdbg",
          "request": "launch",
          "program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
          "args": [],
          "stopAtEntry": false,
          "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
          "environment": [],
          "externalConsole": false,
          "MIMode": "gdb",
          "setupCommands": [
              {
                  "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                  "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                  "ignoreFailures": true
              }
          ],
          "preLaunchTask": "gcc build active file",
          "miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb"
      }
  ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my <code>tasks.json</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
      {
          "type": "shell",
          "label": "C/C++: gcc build active file",
          "command": "/usr/bin/gcc",
          "args": [
              "-g",
              "${file}",
              "-o",
              "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
          ],
          "options": {
              "cwd": "/usr/bin"
          },
          "problemMatcher": [
              "$gcc"
          ],
          "group": "build"
      }
  ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And yes, I do compile with the <code>-g</code> flag. Any ideas on how to fix this?</p>
