[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified for C++

#1

Hello everyone,
I am facing issues to build my C++ programs. The error is something like this.

[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd: [‘g++.exe’, ‘-std=c++14’, ‘C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\test.cpp’, ‘-o’, ‘test.exe’, ‘&&’, ‘test.exe<inputf.in>outputf.in’]]

My C++ build system is
{
“cmd”: [“g++.exe”,"-std=c++14", “${file}”, “-o”, “${file_base_name}.exe”, “&&” , “${file_base_name}.exe<inputf.in>outputf.in”],
“selector”:“source.cpp”,
“shell”:true,
“working_dir”:"$file_path"
}

I’ve already added MinGW\bin to the Path.
Someone Please help me. I’m trying to solve it since couple of days.

Are you able to run that command from the command line?

I’m guessing ${file_base_name}.exe<inputf.in>outputf.in doesn’t exist.

Thank you everyone for replying, but I resolved the error
Actually, I found that my command prompt was also not starting. So, I searched for cmd.exe in my C>windows>system32 but did not find it there. Instead I found it at C>windows>SysWOW64 .
So I pasted the same in system32 and command prompt started working. This also resolved my issue with Sublime Text
