创建Sublime Text构建系统以在不同目录中进行构建和来源

Question

I have a project for which the build and source directories are not the same. I'd like to create a build system that will build in the build directory while I am editing in the source directory.

Let's say I have this directory structure:

• /home/dbw/src The source files.
• /home/dbw/bld The build files.

(shocking and unique naming system, I know - let's hold the applause until the end, shall we?)

The build is nested many layers deep, and the directory structures are symmetric. From a directory in the source , I would like Sublime to start a build in the related build directory. For instance, if I am editing /home/dbw/src/foo/Makefile, I'd like make to execute in /home/dbw/bld/foo. I've tried this:

{
  "cmd": ["make"],
  "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
  "working_dir": "/home/dbw/bld/${file_path/$project_path//}",
  "selector": "source.makefile",

  "variants":
  [
    {
      "name": "Clean",
      "cmd": ["make", "clean"]
    },
    {
      "name": "Test",
      "cmd": ["make", "test"]
    }
  ]
}

My .sublime-project is in /home/dbw/src

I also tried using "working_dir": "/home/dbw/bld/${file_path/\\/home\\/dbw\\/src//}" .

It looks to me like the problem is that I am not escaping slashes in the replacement expression correctly. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I did this, and it works.

"working_dir": "/home/dbw/bld${file_path/.home.dbw.src//}"

It still seems a bit inelegant to me, though.
