Compiling C++11 Programs with Sublime Text 3

For Windows 7, you may want to read this post http://www.thefourtheye.in/2013/07/Compiling-Node.js-scripts-in-Windows-7-with-Sublime-Text-3.html

Today I installed Sublime Text 3's public beta on my Ubuntu 13 and the first thing I noticed is, the inability to compile C++ 11 programs. The obvious problem is, it was missing -std=c++0x parameter to g++. I tried to figure out how to edit the build parameters of Sublime. After an hour's struggle managed to figure out.

1. You need to create the following file ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/C++/C++.sublime-build. The ~ refers to the home directory of the current user.
   
2. Now insert the below seen text to that file
   

   {
    "cmd": ["g++", "-std=c++0x", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"],
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "selector": "source.c, source.c++",
    "variants":
    [
      {
        "name": "Run",
        "cmd":["bash", "-c", "g++ -std=c++0x '${file}' -o '${file_path}/${file_base_name}' && '${file_path}/${file_base_name}'"]
      }
    ]
   }
   

3. Save this file and close it. Sublime will pick up the changes immediately.
   

This will take care of compiling C++ 11 programs.
