Build two separate executables in the same project #1419

Closed evanz2608 closed 2 months ago

evanz2608 commented 2 months ago

Is it possible to build two separate executables in the same project? I'm currently testing the language by creating a console game, and I want to make a level editor as a separate program within the same project. I noticed that in the project.json file there is a "targets" object, but adding a second target as an executable results in an error due to the presence of two main functions in separate files. I really like the build system and would prefer not to write a Makefile or create two separate project folders just to resolve this issue.

Place the two mains in separate folders, so for example like this (this is not the only way to do it):

/src-game/main.c3 - contains game /src-editor/main.c3 - contains editor /src/ - contains the common code Then in the game target, add "sources": "src-game" And in the editor target, add "sources": "src-editor"
