When we make a .cpp document, Build option in the menubar writes Lint (the 3rd menu option) in place of Link. Please see it. When Filetype is set to programming language C++, the third menu option under Build menu writes Lint in place of Link. Please check it.
That's intentional, see [Linting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(software)).
Just to point out that the second option `Build` does both compile and link.
Closed #1938.
