Is it possible to configure CLion to compile source files in a project independently?

Question

I am currently doing some Project Euler challenges in C using the JetBrains CLion IDE. When I completed these in Python and Java (in PyCharm and IntelliJ, respectively), I w

You can use

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.4)

add_subdirectory(src/prj1)
add_subdirectory(src/prj2)

then in each directory create an other CMakeLists.txt like this one :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.4)
project(prj1)

set(EXEC_NAME prj1)

set(SOURCE_FILES
    main_prj1.cpp
    x.cpp
    y.cpp
)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")

set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ../../dist/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})

add_executable(${EXEC_NAME} ${SOURCE_FILES})

You can use file(GLOB SOURCE_FILES *.cpp) if you want to automatically add files in your compilation. But keep in mind that this "trick" is strongly not encouraged.

This will also automatically add build configurations to CLion.
