The current directory you are in is the period character followed by a slash. Similarly if I am in the same directory as MyProgram I need to use a 'current directory' relative path. Or say I was in the directory /Users/oliver/MyProject2 and I wanted to execute /Users/oliver/MyProject/MyProgram I can use a relative path like this, to execute it: For example, if MyProgram was in the directory /Users/oliver/MyProject I and I was in my home directory I can qualify the executable name like this, and have it execute: If you are in a location that is near the program you wished to execute you can qualify the name with a partial path. So say I had an executable called MyProgram in my home directory on Mac OS X I can fully qualify it like so: To run any other command that is not in the executable search path requires that you qualify the path to the executable. This runs /bin/cat and displays mytextfile.txt to the terminal. So any executable in the listed directories can by run just by typing in their name. On Mac OS X (by default) this will display the following colon separated search path: You can display this path in the terminal with this command: If you would like to revert back to original g++, just go back to C++ Single file build and change '/opt/homebrew/bin/g++-11' to 'g++' wherever applicable.All application execution in a Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, AIX, etc.) environment depends on the executable search path. Compile and build as you would usually do in sublime text (cmd+b/cmd+shift+b) and this time it would build using brew's g++. Save this file using cmd+s and restart sublime text. After that open command palette and open 'PackageResourceViewer: Open resource'.įinally replace all g++ with the location we copied earlier (/opt/homebrew/bin/g++-11). Open sublime text and install 'PackageResourceViewer' from Package Control. Copy this location ( Mine was something like - /opt/homebrew/bin/g++-11 ). Now type the command 'which g++-11' to get the location where g++-11 got installed.

So I tried searching how to use brew's g++ as default build in Sublime Text without breaking anything but couldn't find anything.Īfter that install gcc using the command in terminal 'brew install gcc'.Ĭheck if install is complete using command 'gcc-11 -version' (I got gcc-11 installed, in future you may use gcc-12,gcc-13 etc). There are many things that I find missing in default C++ build in Mac Sublime Text(clang) like no bits/stdc++.h header, regular warnings on using auto keyword, using inline comparator functions etc.
