Sublime-Text-Setup

1. Install MinGW Compiler

MinGW is a native Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Install the latest MinGW compiler, after downloading from here. Your path should preferably be C:\MinGW. Finally, add the bin directory, C:\MinGW\bin to the System PATH.

2. Install Sublime Text

Sublime Text is one of the most popular editors for development in general. It’s smooth and fast compared to other editors (being written in C++ helps that speed). Sublime also has tons of plugins you can find through Package Control. Download and install Sublime Text 3 from here. https://www.sublimetext.com/3

3. Create a build system

Sublime Text provides build systems to allow users to run external programs. Create a new build system for Sublime Text for setting up C++ compilation. Go to Tools > Build System > New Build System. Paste the following code in the file and save it.

{
"cmd": ["g++.exe","-std=c++17", "${file}", "-o", "${file_base_name}.exe", "&&" , "${file_base_name}.exe<inputf.in>outputf.in"],
"shell":true,
"working_dir":"$file_path",
"selector":"source.cpp"
}

This can be used for piping input from the inputf.in file, and output to the outputf.in file. Note that this uses the -std=c++17 flag to enable the latest features of C++17. If you don't want this or want to use C++14, replace this with the -std=c++14 flag.

4. Setup window layout

Create three new files, file.cpp, inputf.in, and outputf.in. Select View > Layout > Columns : 3. This will create three columns in the workspace. Move the three files into the three columns. Select View > Groups > Max Columns : 2.

The windows will look like above when you are done. Write a hello world program, and test its working. Use Ctrl+B to build and execute the file.

5. Precompile headers

Now we can speed up compilation time by precompiling all the header files as mentioned here, i.e. by precompiling the bits/stdc++.h header file. This can speed up compilation time by up to a factor of 12. For this, first, navigate to the stdc++.h file. This will be located at a directory similar to C:\msys64\mingw64\include\c++\10.2.0\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bits Right click while pressing Shift to open a Powershell/cmd window there. Run the command g++ -std=c++17 stdc++.h, to compile the header. Take care to use the same flags you used in your build system. Check to make sure that the stdc++.h.gch file was created in the directory.

Finally, we can take advantage of the features of Sublime Text, namely snippets and completions.

Apart from these, some of my personal settings are:

1. Install font Inconsolata(why? coz I like the font) from google fonts and go to preferences -> settings and add these:

{
   "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.sublime-color-scheme",
   "font_face": "Inconsolata",
   "font_options":
   [
   	"no_italic"
   ],
   "font_size": 15,
   "ignored_packages":
   [
   	"Vintage"
   ],
   "theme": "Default.sublime-theme"
}

2. Make snippets for CP

3. customize colors of variables, data types, comments etc

How to do it?? goto tools -> command palette -> Open Resource -> Color Scheme - Default -> then select your current theme, in my case Monokai.sublime-color-scheme then the following file will open:

now you can add or modify colors and you can find color codes here
