Hi,
So I’m pretty new to all of this (SublimeText/Build Systems/Programming), but I have a quick question about build systems. I’m using Sublime Text 2 and have successfully created a few custom build systems for C++/Java/etc, and while the actual build works great, if I wanted to create a “run” variant for a program that requires input from the command line/terminal, how can I do this? I realize that most of the time I won’t need this and it’s not really what SublimeText is for/capable of, but it would be nice to figure out.
I’ve done a bit of research already, and it either seems that this is basically impossible and I just have to run my builds from Terminal separately, or write a script that opens the shell/terminal first, and then run the rest of my build system. The script approach really confuses me, but maybe I’m over-thinking it. I don’t think the "shell": true command is what I’m looking for either. I’ve looked at SublimeREPL and SublimePTY, but I have no idea how to incorporate those into a custom build system.
Thanks for the help, I realize I’m probably way off track here. As of now the “run” variant I have just get’s to the point where input from the terminal is required, then an exception is raised and crashes.
EDIT: Running OSX 10.8.4, and I think I meant “console” input.
