How to use Mingw with a build system in Sublime Text - c++

Question

I am using Sublime Text and learning C++. I installed Mingw (also added path) and Sublime Text and added a new build system for taking the external output and input.
Here is the code:
{
"cmd" : ["g++ -std=c++14 '$file_name' -o '$file_base_name' && timeout 4s ./'$file_base_name'<input.txt>output.txt"],
"selector" : "source.c, source.cpp",
"shell": true,
"working_dir" : "$file_path"
}
After pressing Control+B, it threw an error:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:D:\Anand\competitive programming\input.txt: file format not recognized; treating as linker script

Answer 1

You don't need the single quotes surrounding the $ variables, and you don't need the ./, as you're running Windows. Edit your build system to include the following:
"cmd" : ["g++ -std=c++14 $file_name -o $file_base_name && timeout 4s $file_base_name < input.txt > output.txt"],
and you should be all set.
