Sublime Text C++ Compiler Mac

Posted on  by

The text editor called Sublime Text, the compiler Clang, and your Mac terminal can all work together so you can write simple programs on your Mac. I am running on the assumption for now that you have already installed Clang and Sublime Text on your computer.

Use the Power of Three for Writing & Compiling in C:

There is a lot of way for compiling code of c using a mac. Sublime Text Editor:- By using the sublime text you can only write coding in c language but for compiling it you need to take the help of Terminal to run that piece of code.

Write a Program in Sublime Text

Go ahead and write something in C, perhaps a “Hello World,” as this is always a good start.

Save your Sublime Text file to your location of choice in your computer. For example, I saved my file as ‘helloworld.c’ and saved it to a folder called ‘workspace_cpp’.

Install compiler if you don’t have it. I would suggest use MinGW compiler for Windows because Windows doesn’t have a GNU compiler for C language. After installing, set the path variable to the location where you have installed the compiler. Now Open Sublime Text Editor. Go into Tools Build System New Build System. Copy this code into the file. ⭐ Kite is a free AI-powered coding assistant that will help you code faster and smarter. The Kite plugin integrates with all the top editors and IDEs to give. If you are using Sublime Text then follow these steps to get a template. Open sublime and go to toolsdevelopernew snippet and click on it. Replace the existing code with the code written above and save it with some name. If you are using some other text editor, here is the template you should use: #include. Sublime Text is much lighter than Xcode because ST is not a full featured IDE, likc Xcode. What you'll end up doing is installing/using gcc or g directly via the command line (which happens to be my preferred way of working). Command line compiling can get to be tedious though with all of the parameters that need to be passed.

Use Your Terminal

Sublime Text C++ Compiler

In your terminal, navigate to the folder your file is in. Type ‘clang’ and the file name, in this case, ‘helloworld.c’

Nothing occurs yet, since clang was simply used to compile the program.

Alternatively, the shortcut is to type in the command: ‘make’ and the file name (without the file type).

To run the program, type into your terminal ‘.a/.out’

The output will print on the terminal. In my case, the next line on my terminal looks like this:

Everytime you make changes to your program, remember, you will need to re-compile your program with clang, and then re-run your program.

The Computer Science of it All

Source code –> compiler –> machine code

Install Sublime Text 3

Source code is the input, such as the Hello World program. The compiler is the algorithm, in the form of software. The output is the machine code, or binary (0’s and 1’s).

Clang, as noted above, is a compiler. It’s short for “C Language.”

.a/.out runs the program, and is specifically a file format. It is short for “assembler output.”
