How to compile gtkmm/gtk programs with Sublime Text 2

Question

I've trying to compile a simple gtkmm program with Sublime Text, but the default C++ build system does not work as it doesn't point to the gtkmm library folder:

fatal error: gtkmm.h: No such file or directory

However, after customizing C++.sublime-build and changing the "cmd" line to:

"cmd": ["g++", "$file", "-o", "$file_base_name `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`"],

I get the error:

g++: error: `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`: No such file or directory

Apparently ST2 is not running the pkg-config command prior to g++ , which the back quotes usually do in the command shell. How do I force ST2 to do just that, in order to correctly include gtkmm folder?

Answer 1

I found the "sublime-build" code some days ago on the stackoverflow, but I can't find it again, so I am attaching the .sublime-build file that works for me.

{
    "cmd": ["g++ -o ${file_base_name} ${file} `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-3.0` && ./${file_base_name}"],
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "shell":true
}
