Title: Compile single files
Post by: Ashu2912 on May 10, 2013, 05:27:04 am

Hey guyz, Im new to using Code::Blocks and do simple programming in c++. I am facing a problem wherein i am unable to compile individual files in a project. I had to create a project in order to use the debugging feature, and read somewhere that i can only debug the files that belong to a project. Please help. thanks in advance!!! :)

Why don't you compile the whole project?
I doubt it is that slow.

The thing is that my project contains files which need to be compiled separately, each has it's own main()!!

Then why don't you make different projects or different targets.
You're abusing the project system with your setup.


p.s. another option is to disable the building/linking of the other files (right click on the file -> properties -> build)
