Multiple main()s in project?

(1/1)

TravisB:
Hello there C::B community!

I'm doing my best to learn C/++.  I have a book on each topic respectively, and am going at a steady pace.

The way I worked with earlier languages (*shudders* java included) was to use an IDE that worked pretty well (and then there was eclipse because I needed it for the ADT plugin for android development!), create a project with the title of the book, and do each of the tutorials throughout it.

I'm really using "project" as a directory to show in the workspace for formatting purposes. 

Is there any way to have multiple main()s, and when hitting 'run' only build/run the one file I'm currently working on?  If not, is there any other way I can go about what I'm attempting to do?  (I may just use vim for these small things, and C::B for actual projects that I work on).

Thanks in advance!

Travis.

Look here:

and here:

...basically you setup multiple targets ("mains") in your project, probably virtual targets if needed and you're done.
