Can't build C++ program using Sublime Text 2

Question

I think many of you are using or used to use Sublime Text 2 editor. I have strange error: C++ programs can't be built.

My C++.sublime-build:

{
    "cmd": ["g++", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"],
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "selector": "source.c, source.c++",

    "variants":
    [
        {
            "name": "Run",
            "cmd": ["bash", "-c", "g++ '${file}' -o '${file_path}/${file_base_name}' && '${file_path}/${file_base_name}'"]
        }
    ]
}

I found that when the cmd array contains ANY substituted expression like ${file} or $file, build doesn't start. Otherwise it starts.

It doesn't matter from compiler. When I've tried "cmd": ["notify-osd", "$file"], it didn't work; but with "cmd": ["notify-osd", "sometexthere"] it worked.

Compiling by-hand works right.

My program:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello World";
}

I use Ubuntu 12.04, 32bit. Version of Sublime Editor: 2.0.1.

If it isn't the place where I could ask this question, please tell me what's the right one.

Answer 1

Edit your C++.sublime-build file....works like a charm.

{
    "cmd": ["g++", "-Wall", "-Wextra", "-pedantic", "-std=c++11",   "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"],
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "selector": "source.c, source.c++",

    "variants":
    [
        {
            "name": "Run",
            "cmd": ["bash", "-c", "g++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c++11 '${file}' -o '${file_path}/${file_base_name}' && '${file_path}/${file_base_name}'"]
        }
    ]
}

Answer 2

I can provide a workaround solution to this problem: Use makefiles. Sublime Text 2 can run makefiles to compile c++ for you.

You would be more likely to get a better answer to this question by asking in the Sublime forums (http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/). Even there they would probably be interested in knowing "how" it doesn't work (i.e. if nothing happens at all when pressing "Build", you might want to specify that).
