This is my experience (possibly I haven't exhaused all measures): one can make a source file without a project, but one cannot build it. Incidentally, .cpp files are C++ files, so this should be in that forum.

See my answer under your post in the C forum. Please don't cross-post. Please DO read the forum's rules/FAQ and a "How to Post" thread (always a good move for a new member in a community).

You cannot do that anymore. You can do that with some other IDE like Dev-C++ though. You can also just compile a native C++ program from the command line.

Please do not crosspost. AFAIK, there is no such option. A solution is, I use this one, to create a project you use for only one or two files. You add the file to the project, you compile it, and you exclude it from your project again.

I have an "examples" project. I just move stuff in and out of it.

First guess: two source files in the project, both with a "main." I think my crystal needs new 'ball' joints....
