How do I compile and run a C program in Sublime Text 2?


I am completely new to programming. I have no idea how to compile & run a simple C program in Sublime Text 2.

(In college I was asked to use Turbo C++ 3.0 but I found that IDE quite ancient.)

I'm using Windows 8 (x64). Here's the error I got when I clicked on build.

Solution

  • I realize you mentioned that you're new to programming but this page might still help you to figure out what's going on. Basically, it looks as if you're not specifying the name of the C file to compile in the build command correctly. In the example given at that webpage, the file to be compiled is specified by the $file parameter.


    EDIT: Looking again at the output, try saving your file as a *.c file--File->Save As and call it something like Hello.c. The .c extension is the important thing in this case.


    EDIT 2: You don't need two ; at the end of line 4. That's unlikely to be your problem (should compile ok) but it's not needed and you shouldn't get into the habit.
