Xcode Project with multiple cpp files

Question

I have a project directory which has multiple cpp files. Each of these files has a main function tied to the respective files. Can i execute each of these files individually or do i have to modify some configurations in Xcode to target each of the files individually. If so, what are steps that i have to take?

This is what the structure looks like in Xcode

Project1
  Project1
    main1.cpp
    main2.cpp
    main3.cpp

you need to have multiple targets where each target only include one of the main files — Bryan Chen

It's relatively straight forward to have multiple targets under the same project:

Click on your project in the project navigator:

Go to your target, here;

Go to "add target":

Select "macOS" and scroll down to "command line tool":

Give it a name, and finish:

You'll see both target in the same project:

Next to the 'run' and 'stop' buttons, set your active scheme to the desired main file:
