Sublime Text Build in an external window

Is there a way to create a build command in Sublime Text that opens a new external window (terminal/cmd.exe)? Everything I try gets captured to the built-in output window.

I tried:

{
   "cmd": ["ruby", "$file"],
   "target": "cmd.exe",
   "file_regex": "rb$",
   "selector": "source.rb"
}

But nothing happened

May be you will find this solution helpful: https://github.com/rctay/sublime-text-2-buildview

(transfers build output in the separate sublime tab, you can then do with it whatever you want)

The following works for Windows (I've tested it on XP and 7):

{
    "cmd": ["start", "cmd", "/k", "c:/ruby193/ruby.exe", "$file"],
    "selector": "source.ruby",
    "shell": true,
    "working_dir": "$file_dir"
}

Save it as Packages/User/Ruby_cmd.sublime-build (you may need to alter the path to the Ruby executable depending on your system), select Tools -> Build System -> Ruby_cmd, and build with CtrlB.

start does what it says it does, start a new process independent of Sublime Text. cmd is cmd.exe, the Windows command-line interpreter. The /k flag keeps the window open (at a new command prompt) after your program has run, allowing you to examine its output, look at tracebacks, run additional commands, etc.
