How to edit Sublime Text build settings?

Eric Computing,

I want to enable -std=gnu++11 in Sublime Text 3’s C++ Single File build on Ubuntu 12.04.

I have already upgraded the tool chain to the latest g++ and do not want to see the following error on every build:

error: #error This file requires compiler and library support for the ISO C++ 2011 standard. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 compiler options.

I browsed to /home/myuname/.config/sublime-text-3 but cannot find any file to edit.

How can I edit the build settings?

Answer:

In Sublime Text 3, packages are wrapped up in .sublime-package zip archives. To access the C++ build file, first install Package Control (if you haven’t already), then install the PackageResourceViewer plugin. Open the Command Palette (Under Tools tab), type prv to bring up the PackageResourceViewer options, select Open Resource, then navigate down to C++ and select the C++ Single File.sublime-build option. Edit it to your liking, save it, and you should be all set.

Below is a build system that should work on Linux. Hit CtrlB to build, and then hit CtrlShiftB to run the resulting program.

{
    "cmd": ["g++", "-std=gnu++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": ["${file_path}/${file_base_name}"]
        }
    ]
}
