Setting Up Sublime Text and Your C++ compiler

• In Sublime Text, execute the New Snippet command from the Tools menu.
• Replace the text in the new snippet with the following text

<snippet>
  <content><![CDATA[
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QTextStream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
    ${1:QTextStream cin(stdin);}
    ${2:QTextStream cout(stdout);}
    $0
    return app.exec();
}
]]></content>
    <tabTrigger>qt</tabTrigger>
</snippet>

• Select Save As from the file menu. Sublime should open a file dialog in its Packages folder.
• Under the Packages folder, create a new subfolder named cupp.sublime-package.
• In the new cupp.sublime-package folder, save the snippet as qt.sublime-snippet.
• You should now be able to open a new file, type qt followed by TAB to start a qt project.
• Next, from Sublime select Tools → Build System → New Build System.
• On a Mac, replace the text in the new build system with the following text.

{
  "shell_cmd":  "g++ $file;./a.out",
  "working_dir":  "$file_path"
}

• On a PC, add the directory of your compiler to the PATH via the Control Panel, then replace the text in the new build system with the following text.

{
  "shell_cmd":  "g++ $file && a.exe"
  "working_dir": "$file_path"
}

for MinGW, or

{
  "shell_cmd": "vcvars32.bat && cl $file && $file_base_name.exe",
    "working_dir": "$file_path"
}

for Visual Studio.

• Save the build system as gcc.sublime-build in the cupp.sublime-package folder created above.
• In Sublime, select Tools->Build Systems->gcc.
• Henceforth, you may compile and run your program using Ctrl + B.
