Compile-run C/C++ source code and execute Makefile in Atom.

Preface

GitHub - Sjlevine/atom-slime: Write Lisp Code Efficiently ...

I am a Windows user and just switched to Atom from Notepad++. Previously I wrote a script in NppExec to compile-run my C/C++ programs and execute Makefiles with customizable compile flags and run options. Atom has numerous community packages and I have tried some. They are really great in certain extent but still cannot fully satisfy my need. Therefore I decided to reference their packages and make my own.

Features

Compile the current actively opened C/C++ file
Execute the current actively opened Makefile
Execute Makefile from Tree View
Customize compilers used
Customize compiler flags
Customize run options
Shortcut to compile-run [ default: f6 ]
Shortcut to access run options panel [ default: ctrl-f6/cmd-f6 ]

Learn To Code Using The C Programming Language On Your Mac

Setup

I have tested in the following three platforms:

Windows

For Windows users, I recommend installing the TDM-GCC (which I am using), then go to the setting page of this package and change the make utility to mingw32-make, after that everything should work. If you have installed other gcc-compilers, just make sure their command names are in you PATH environment variable

Images For Atom C Mac

Ubuntu

For Ubuntu users, gcc and make should have already been installed, though you may need to install g++ in addition.

Mac

For Mac users, Xcode is not a prerequisite but you need to at least install the Xcode Command Line Tools. This site has a more detailed walkthrough.

Usage

Settings Page

Edit compiler command name or path
Edit compiler flags and run arguments
Toggle unconditional build

Run Options

Quick access to edit flags and arguments
Can use [shift-]tab to change input focus and enter to trigger the run button
Can trigger one-time unconditional build here

Context Menu

Trigger Make-Run on Makefile from tree view
To execute a Makefile, a run target need to be specified, just as in the above .gif
Note: Arguments in run options will be passed as environment variable ARGS to the Makefile, but compiler flags and link libraries will not. Below is an example run target:

Code and Repo Reference

I am new in CoffeeScript and know little about the Model-View-Controller design, thus my code may be messy. Below are the packages that I used and the repositories that I have referenced. They are great and you may want to try them out!

kriscross07/atom-gpp-compiler
+ A simple but useful package to compile-run C/C++ files
- Cannot customize run arguments
- On windows the cmd console just flash then close after the C/C++ program ends
! The closest that I want, thus mine is a remake with enhancements
rgbkrk/atom-script
+ Support many languages
+ Customizable compile and run flags
- Does not support C/C++ on Windows...
- Does not support interactive running
! The option view is modified from this package
ksxatompackages/cmd-exec
+ Can register commands to do many things
- Troublesome to set up
noseglid/atom-build
+ Support automated build
- Need to specify an auto-build file
