You can only have one function called "main" per executable.
In fact, ALL function names should be unique.
It seems you have defined main twice in projects basic and basic2.
If you intended multiple executables (say hello in project basic and prime_numbers in project basic) they should be in separate projects.

It's possible to have more than one executable per project but you would have to write your own makefile.
