How do I use MinGW-w64 with Sublime?


I am trying to code in C++ and I need a compiler. I got Sublime 3 and MinGW-64 and put MinGW-w64.sublime-build in packages. When I hit ctrl+shift+b the console gives me this error: 'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'C:\Users\Rick\Desktop/test.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. [Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1] [cmd: ['g++', '-o', 'C:\\Users\\Rick\\Desktop/test.exe', '-static-libgcc', '-static-libstdc++', '*.cpp', '&', 'C:\\Users\\Rick\\Desktop/test.exe']] [dir: C:\Users\Rick\Desktop] [path: C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;]

This is my code:

#include <string>
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;    

    int main()      
    {    
        std::cout << "Hello World! " << std::end1;    
        return 0;      
    }

Solution

  • Add the folder containing g++.exe (.../bin) to your PATH.

    You can do so with the following (Windows) command:

    setx path "%path%;FOLDER_CONTAINING_G++"
