How to build and run multiple main cpp files in CodeLite IDE that are in different Projects or within same projects?

Question

I have a simple codelite project structure as follows:

All of the three main.cpp files are independent. I just want to keep it that way as I am not building a typical c++ project rather, I want to use CodeLite to compile, run and test one cpp file to solve some algorithmic puzzles online.

However, when I run p2/src/main.cpp, p1/src/main.cpp runs, and when I do the same with p3/src/main.cpp, p1/src/main.cpp runs again.

Basically, I am not able to build and run other codes except p1/src/main.cpp.

I hope it's not late to help you, if so, i hope it helps somebody else. I was struggling the the same thing, but i manage to do it, here's the path:

Right Click on the cpp(or whatever you've named it) workspace, on the third option there's NEW with an arrow, inside the arrow click on the second option *New Workspace folder

Name it

Right Click on the Workspace to create your project

and it's done you can have as many projects as you want and all of them gonna run

I hope i helped.
