Xcode "fails with exit code 1"

I'm new to xcode, 13 years old, and it stopped compiling my code! I'm working in C++ command line. My first project worked fine, but when I tried to run a new project, the build failed (not from syntax errors or anything) and gave me this notification:


Ld /Users/cal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test2-dddrxmdmqydygiejxapflqfrsz qr/Build/Products/Debug/Test2 normal x86_64

cd /Users/cal/Documents/Application-Specific/XCode/Test2

Command /Developer/usr/bin/clang++ failed with exit code 1


I bolded the part that seemed most important. Did it lose a file? Even my earlier project, which worked fine, won't run anymore.


Please respond, because I'm brand new and this means I can't code anymore.


Thanks!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7), xcode 4.1 from Mac App Store

This is the line that describes exactly what is wrong:


ld: duplicate symbol _main in /Users/cal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test2-dddrxmdmqydygiejxapflqfrsz qr/Build/Intermediates/Test2.build/Debug/Test2.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/File . o and /Users/cal/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Test2-dddrxmdmqydygiejxapflqfrsz qr/Build/Intermediates/Test2.build/Debug/Test2.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/Calc u lator.o for architecture x86_64


You have main defined in both 'File' and 'Calculator'.
