How to have multiple main programs: one for client and one for server? [message #174244]

I'm running CDT 3.0.2 on Eclipse 3.1.2 and I'm confused. I created a project
with two main C++ programs: one for the socket client and one for the socket
server. It was working on my notebook. I committed to a CVS repository and
checked it out on my desktop.

Now when I compile and try to run with eclipse, it tells me there are two
main programs. When I rename the server program to be tmain, the client
program works (well, it fails the way it is supposed to because there is no
server running).

How can I have two main programs again and run them simultaneously so I can
test them?
Thanks,
Siegfried

If you need to debug both at the same time (Assuming you can only debug
one program at a time):
1: Multithreading
2: Put client in different workspace altogether and debug with two
instances of Eclipse, one for each project.

If you can debug one at a time:
1: Compile server and run the .exe then debug the client...

Nathan

But on the notebook computer, I had both main programs in same CVS
repository and it did not try to link both main programs into the same
executable. Is there a way I can reproduce this on my desktop after having
checked out the project from the same CVS repository the notebook committed
to?

thanks,
Siegfried

You should create a Debug Configuration for both applications: In the menu
select Run->Debug .. and choose C/C++ Local Application. In the Main tab
you select the Project and the corresponding Executable. Repeat these
steps for both client and server app.

When I go to run->Debug I don't see "C/C++ Local Appliation". What am I
doing wrong? I've tried hi-lighting the project and the main file containing
the main program.

I'm running 3.1.2 eclipse and cdt 3.0.2.

Thanks,
Siegfried

Well, I am using the latest Eclipse 3.2 with CDT 3.1. But AFAIK this
option was also available in CDT 3.0.

What do you see when you right-click on the project with the executable
and select "Debug As" ?
