#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main() {
std::string name;
std::cout << "what is your name?\n";

make: *** [src/subdir.mk:20: src/Udemy.o] Error 1
simply means the recipe at line 20 of src/subdir.mk failed.

By itself, it means little.
You must have omitted all of the error messages that preceded it.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your code.
It may be a CDT or installation configuration problem.
There isn't enough information to tell.

Please post the complete build log that you get from Project --> Build Project
Should look something like this:
01:56:50 **** Build of configuration Debug for project HelloWorldTest ****
make all 
Building file: ../src/HelloWorldTest.cpp
   :
   :
   :
Finished building target: HelloWorldTest

01:56:51 Build Finished (took 485ms)

I can't even get the build log now because my editor keeps trying to build/run other projects in my workspace. do I need to put a new workspace every time?

It should only try to build the current project with Project --> Build Project
Perhaps you selected Project --> Build All instead?
If you have any linked projects, unlink them until your issue is resolved.

Also: turn off Project --> Build Automatically for now.

what do you mean linked projects? and is the console supposed to appear as comand prompt, or just the console at the bottom of the page? these are all programs in the same worksapce, but with unrelated in wht they do code wise, so I assume they're not linked. sorry I am a fairly new programmer.

Yes, it is unlikely you have any.

Did you try Project --> Build Project
or did you actually select Project --> Build All instead?

You need to build the project to get the error messages that indicate why make failed.
The build console shows the build output results.
Probably it is where you saw the make error.

Looks like this
index.php/fa/32263/0/

Note that is starts "CDT Build Console".
If you don't see one, do Window --> Show View --> Console

There is also a Global Build Console selectable from a pull-down menu in the Console View.

Not a compilerr error. Your projet is misconfigured.
Read this on one way to resolve it:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1092012&goto=1782973&#msg_1782973

Specifically,

    Create an HelloWorld project (with a different name);
    Delete the HelloWorld.cpp (which actually is <project name>.cpp);
    Copy your source into the src directory;
    Select a build configuration;
    Then build it.


You edited your post to say something about running your original project.
You posted an image of a build log that showed an incremental build was unnecessary.
I think you clicked "Run" and it ran a different project.
If so, you need to set up a launch configuration for your program.
https://help.eclipse.org/oxygen/topic/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/tasks/cdt_t_new_run_config.htm?cp=13_3_5_0_1
Actually, read the entire Running and debugging projects section.
NOTE: there is a documentation error.
To get to the configuration manager you should click on (pick one):
Run --> Run Congifurations ...
Run --> Debug Configurations ...
ALSO: there is no difference between the two except in the dialog presented.
They both use the same named launch configuration.



You seem quite confused about using the CDT framework.
Perhaps you should step back and read all of:
https://help.eclipse.org/oxygen/topic/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/concepts/cdt_o_home.htm?cp=13

Suggest upgrading to Oxygen
Photon will be out soon, as well.
