Creating a New Project

To create a simple project, follow these steps after starting Eclipse*:

1. From the Eclipse File menu, select New > Project. The New Project wizard opens with the Select a wizard dialog to specify the kind of project you want to create. From the Wizards list, select C > Managed Make C Project. Click Next to proceed. See also Standard and Managed Make Files.
   
   

2. For Project name, type hello_world. Check the Use default box or specify a directory for your Managed Make C Project. Click Next to proceed.
   
   

3. From the Select a type of project dialog, select Linux Executable Using Intel(R) C/C++ Compiler from the Project Type drop-down list. Check the Release and Debug configuration boxes. Click Next to proceed.
   
   

4. The Additional Project Settings dialog lets you create dependencies between your new project and other existing projects. This sample project has no dependencies on other projects. Click Finish to complete creation of your new hello_world project.
   
   

5. If you are not currently in the C/C++ Development Perspective, you will see the Confirm Perspective Switch dialog. Click Yes to proceed. In the Navigator view, you should now see an entry for your hello_world project.
   
   

The next step is Adding a C Source File.
