[CQ04] Build System Basics

[@wi0lono]

Thank you so so much! There was a Sublime build system package that wasn't working for me, and this video helped me figure out how to get it to work. Videos like these keep the Internet from catastrophe.

[@OdatNurd]

Thanks, so glad I could help!

[@vvictorreis777]

Thank you very much! Now I’m able to execute the code using terminus!

[@OdatNurd]

Glad I could help!

[@anilshrestha1272]

you surely are a sublime fanatic guy,anyway thanks for the terminus package you made life lot easier.surely recommend other

[@OdatNurd]

Happy to help! :)

I want to develop a build system which called external testing tools for Python. This includes setting working directories, potentially setting venv, etc. Is there a video on how to accomplish this?

[@OdatNurd]

I don't have anything like that at the moment (most of my work in Python is in the Sublime plugin environment). It sounds doable though. Do you have an example of a tutorial showing how to do this outside of Sublime? I could probably adapt something like that fairly easily.

Sir is it possible to make a interactive build system for MongoDB in sublime text.. Where we can code in terminal also

[@OdatNurd]

This should indeed be possible! I'd use Terminus for this and have it execute the mongo shell

Thanks for making these videos, they are quickly clearing up all my questions about build systems, but I still can't figure something out. I'm working on making a basic programming language-inside of python-And I was wondering how I would run a python program as the build system, and how I would access the $file variable inside of that program?

[@kcvinu]

I have created and using similar build system. Just wrote a python script using subprocess module and threads. Based on file extensions, my script will decide which command will use from the prefixed commands collection. Once the command is fixed, run it with subprocess. Start reading it's STDOUT & STDERR streams from two different threads. Just read it and print it on screen, so that I can see the real time outputs from my code/compiler. Once the script is ready, just add it to sublime build system lime this. "cmd": ["python", "path/to/my_script.py", "${file}"] Now, when I press Ctrl + B, my python script will start and do the build job.

[@andy2486]

Thanks for that great videos! Is there a way to highlight the build output as well? For example use the file_regex match to highlight the build output error in red or so?!

[@OdatNurd]

Build systems support a key named `syntax` that sets the syntax uses to highlight the output in the panel; the default is `Plain Text` which is why there's no color. Given a suitable definition, that's definitely possible but potentially not trivial depending on the output in question (also Terminus doesn't support that option, if that matters)

[@solrainer7]

Why I can't see intext error tag using termius in build system? Standart hotkeys F4 and shift+F4 still working with termius... With using standart terminal output intext error tag shows correctly.

[@OdatNurd]

Do you mean the phantom annotations in the files that your'e editing that display the errors? If so, that's something that Terminus would have to do but it currently doesn't. The functionality that does that is in the plugin that's used to execute builds by default, but Terminus doesn't replicate it.

[@solrainer7]

@@OdatNurd , thanks a lot. I thought that "sublime text" parsing terminal output by seted regexp and shows those phantom annotations. And I thought where I could made mistake with termius install.

[@Minickg]

Is there any way to show me how to set up build system for C programming on ST4? I have tried to search Internet but i have not found any answer...

[@OdatNurd]

Does the predefined build not work for you?

[@Minickg]

@@OdatNurd Predefined yes... I want set up ST4 so i can take input or do output... I have installed Terminus, too. Help me pls :)

[@OdatNurd]

@@Minickg For that you want to follow the instructions in this video (but use your current build as the base and not the Python one): kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Wse4CMftuJnck

[@vidiodirector]

Hi, is possible create a build system for use gcc compiler with three different tasks: compile, compile and run and just Run?

[@OdatNurd]

That's totally possible; a build can have as many "variants" as you would like. The "C Single File" and "C++ Single File" builds that ship with sublime cover a couple of these cases (Compile and Compile and Run) so you could create a build based on that one that includes just a "run" variant. A video covering this specific example should be coming soon as well.

I don't know much about JSON but isn't it like it takes something from server and supplies it to the client and if it is so then how is it working here inside build system when we write that piece of JSON code??

[@OdatNurd]

That's one of the uses of JSON, but it's more just a data-interchange format that's easy for computers to create and understand. So in this case it's more like a configuration file that tells Sublime information about how you want the build to work.

[@tomriddle2427]

@@OdatNurd got it, thank-you and for the videos also it is very insightful just one thing more can you give a little more info or direct me towards it related to JSON working in this context that you just explained.

[@onjulraz754]

Thank you!

[@OdatNurd]

Glad I could help out! :)

[@technp8780]

sir please build system for kotlin to run in sublime text

[@OdatNurd]

I don't know much about Kotlin in general as I've never used it; does it come with command line tools you can use to build and run your code?

[@randomviralshorts1501]

Look at the webcam in sublime 😂

[@OdatNurd]

Sublime makes everything better 😁
