How to Create, Compile, And Run a single file in CLion

Question

I am working on some c++ stuff and I hate having to create a whole new project just to run a few things on a file.

I also don\'t like how when you creat

Answer 1

You may modify the CMakeLists.txt

Here an example :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(test_build)

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

set(BUILD_1 main)
set(SOURCE_FILES_1 main.cc) //where main.cc is your first main/program
add_executable(${BUILD_1} ${SOURCE_FILES_1})

set(BUILD_2 main_2)
set(SOURCE_FILES_2 main_2.cc) //where main_2.cc is your second main/program
add_executable(${BUILD_2} ${SOURCE_FILES_2})

Or use a test (garbage version) :
add_executable(foo bar.cc)

After that you can choose the build you want in CLion
