Creating a C or C++ project

You can create a standard make or managed make C or C++ project. To create a project:

1. Click File > New > Project. The New Project wizard opens.
2. Select a  Managed Make C Application Project.
3. Click Next.
4. In the Project Name field, type a name for the new project.
5. In the Software Platform drop-down list, select the Software Platform for which you want to create the application from the list of available platforms.
6. Select the location for the project. To use the default location, as displayed in the Location field, leave the Use Default Location for Project check box selected. Otherwise, click to unselect the check box, then type or browse to the directory location.
7. SDK provides some useful Sample Applications that you can use to create your project. The Description box displays a brief description of the selected sample application. When you use a sample application for your project, SDK creates the required source and header files and linker script.
   To create a blank project select the Empty Application. You can then add C files to the project.
8. Click Finish to create your project.
   

Next, define your project properties. For more information, refer to Defining project properties.
