I wanted to use gcc, g++ and make from Sublime Text to be able to compile C and C++ code to Linux runnables on Windows. I couldn’t run bash.exe from Sublime Text, as many other users on Stack Overflow. Answer You have to copy the C:WindowsSystem32bash.exe file to the C:WindowsSysWOW64 directory. Required because of the WoW64 file system redirection (Thanks Martin!)
