Registration needed to compile sublime text file?

#1

Just downloaded Sublime Text 2, free unregistered; cannot compile code in Sublime file, why is that? Do I have to have it registered to compile?
Please, give honest answer, and not an answer to just impulse me to register sublime and pay a fee.

Thanks a lot!

This seems to me more of a package registration, rather than Sublime. The only thing Sublime will do is popup when you save, not even every time. It doesn’t prevent access to anything.

Sublime in itself is not a compiler so it cant compile anything. it is a text editor, which, to our fortune, can execute a program to do the compilation. Therefore to compile your code you need to have an compiler toolchain installed, be it GCC (or MingwW64 on windows), VC (Microsoft), BCC (Embarcadero), TCC, golang, or some other compiler out there. Whether you need to register your toolchain to compile is up to its license agreement and not relevant to sublime at all.
