The CMake+Make support also allows to build individual object files,
simply select the .cpp in the Project tree and hit Build. If you already
have items in the build selection (the lower left list under the project tree
view) then you'd have to remove those first since they override the
current selection in the project tree (you can also just add the .cpp
file there).
