Textmate c++ compiling errors

Question

When trying to compile a c++ file in textmate (this happens when clicking run), I get an error in a seperate window that says:

Can't find “g++” on PATH.

Theme:
The current PATH is:

/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/texbin /usr/X11/bin Please add the directory containing “g++” to PATH in TextMate's Shell Variables preferences.

Alternatively, the PATH can be retrieved from Terminal but this requires a relaunch: Set PATH and relaunch (button)

Clicking clicking Compile Single File to Tool gives a different error. It says: "sh: g++: command not found".

Answer 1

Textmate is telling you that it cannot find the compiler (g++).

You should either move the g++ executable into one of the directories specified in the PATH variable, or add the directory containing the g++ executable to the PATH.
