The "bad command or file name" error occurs right before the message
"no errors" at the end of compile. The "multiple definition of main"
error comes from the linker. The Message Window says this:
"Error: foo.o: In function 'main': 
Error: foo.cpp(.text+0x14): multiple definition of 'main'
Error: foo.o(.text+0x14):foo.cpp: first defined here"
