'How to use c++ with terminus in sublime text 4

I recently started learning c++ and want to implement it into sublime text with input from the build panel (the default c++ build system doesn't allow for input).

My current build system looks like this:

{
"target": "terminus_exec",
"cancel": {"kill": true},
"focus": true,

"shell_cmd": "g++ -o $file_base_name $file && $file_path/$file_base_name.exe",
}

When I run the build, I get this error:

cc1plus.exe: fatal error: strings\file.cpp: No such file or directory                                                                                                    
compilation terminated

This is the closest I've gotten to getting it working. I haven't written build systems before so if there is anything I should know it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to OrdaNurd, I got it working. My final code looks like this:

{
"target": "terminus_exec",
"cancel": "terminus_cancel_build",
"focus": true,

"working_dir": "%file_path",
"shell_cmd": "g++ -o \"$file_path/$file_base_name\" \"$file\" && \"$file_path/$file_base_name\"",
}

The quotations are needed for files/paths with spaces and I added the working directory because it was needed on my python version (it probably doesn't need it here).

For a while, the executable was being created in my user folder which was quite confusing, but this creates it in the directory the file is located (I think).
