Working with single c files

Post by artur »

Hello,
Is that possible to work with single file not a project. I want to be able to debug them, run,build current file and debug. I'm a beginner programmer and I don't need to have project and it is very uncomfortable to work with project because I am able only to run main.c and every think must be in here(I am not able to run single files from project on their own)
Best Regards
Artur

Ideally you should have a project.

If you don't want to create a project and still be able to compile the C file into an executable, you can define an external tool to compile the file for you
The command for the tool should be something like:

Code: Select all

gcc $(CurrentFileFullPath) -o MyExe 
To debug the executable (MyExe):
Use the 'Quick Debug' option from 'debug -> quick debug' and select the executable that you want to debug - this option allows you to debug programs without the need of a project.
