SharpLinter now supports Sublime Text 2

Okay, okay. Nothing at all has changed with SharpLinter - github, and Sublime Text 2 supports pretty much anything that generates consistent output with the right config :)

Here's how to add a build system for Sublime Text 2 that uses SharpLinter for Javasript files.
  1. Select Tools -> Build System -> New Build System
  2. Enter the following to create a build config that works against javascript files:
{
    "cmd": ["sharplinter", "-v","-ph","best","*.min.js", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^(.*?)\\(([0-9]+)\\): ()(.*)$",
    "selector": "source.js"
}

Save it, and your're done. The regex should match SharpLinter's default output and let you use F4 and shift+F4 to navigate any errors within your file.

The "cmd" property for Submlime Text 2 should contain the command followed by any options you want, so this could be as simple as

...
"cmd": ["sharplinter", "$file"],
...

to run SharpLinter with default options against the active file. The options above are just the ones I like to use, which provide verbose output, minify to *.min.js on success, and use the best compression method (usually yui).

Go ahead and set yourself up with SublimeOnSaveBuild and you can have it run every time you save automatically.
